Funding Sources
The Board of Nursing is required to be financially self-sufficient pursuant to Tennessee statute. Fees are paid for application and licensing in the profession. Fee amounts are reviewed periodically for the purpose of covering direct and indirect costs incurred for licensing and enforcement.
Revenue needs and fee amounts are based on estimated expenses and revenue collections. Revenue collected that exceeds expenditures remains with the agency and is considered when calculating total revenue needed for the following year.
