Regulation: VBON establishes regulations and guidelines that govern nursing practice to ensure public safety and the competence of nursing professionals.

Disciplinary Actions: The board investigates complaints against nurses and has the authority to take disciplinary actions if violations of nursing regulations occur.

Education and Standards: VBON sets standards for nursing education programs in Virginia and monitors compliance to ensure that nursing schools meet the required criteria.
