Requires New Jersey Board of Nursing to establish Nursing Scribe Program.

This bill requires the New Jersey Board of Nursing to create a Nursing Scribe Program in partnership with approved nursing schools.

The bill defines nurse scribe services as documentation support that stays within the scope of a nurse's professional licensure.
