The Board

Composition of the Board

The VI Board of Nurse Licensure is composed of one Nurse Anesthetist, one Nurse Midwife, one Nurse Educator, three nurses from varied areas of specialization, two Licensed Practical Nurses, two voting lay persons, one from the St. Thomas- St. John District and one from the St. Croix District. Each member of the Board shall be a citizen of the United States of America and a resident of the United States Virgin Islands for at least five years.

Individuals who serve on boards of nursing are appointed to their position. State and territorial law dictates the membership of the board of nursing, which usually includes a mix of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical and Vocational Nurses, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, and consumers. Together, they meet often to oversee board of nursing activities and to take disciplinary action on nurses’ licenses as necessary.

An informed consumer is an important partner to the board of nursing in making sure that unsafe nursing practice is reported. Toward that end, this information is for consumers who want to know how to report a complaint about a licensed nurse or certified nurse assistant to the board.
