State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators

The State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators, through the licensure and registration of nursing home administrators, insures that such individuals are suitable and qualified to serve in such positions.

The Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators is responsible for regulating the practice of nursing home administration through licensure and discipline of those engaged in the practice of nursing home administration in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Board regulates nursing home administrators as well as the unlicensed practice of those professions.  Under this authority, it is the role of the Board to determine on a case-by-case basis whether a professional under its jurisdiction engaged in unprofessional conduct by departing from, or failing to conform to, an ethical or quality standard of the profession.  All Pennsylvania licensees are reminded to review the requirements of professional licensure as set forth in the Practice Act and Board Regulations to aid in their practice of nursing home administration consistent with the standards of practice and of professional conduct.
