Abstrakt: • What is currently known? Associate degree nursing programs must understand the regulation of nursing practice and education to support nursing workforce needs. • What the paper adds to existing knowledge: Most states have enacted changes to the regulation of practice and education in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • How is the applied to practice? Associate degree nurse educators must continue to stay abreast of regulatory changes to support preparation of new nurse graduates who are ready to meet workforce needs to practice safely in today's healthcare environment. To adapt to the environment resulting from a worldwide pandemic, states across the country enacted regulation changes impacting nursing education, entry into practice, and licensure. In this manuscript, the authors collected state board of nursing data from sources including websites and letters from the State Boards to deans, directors, and chairs. Information obtained reflected changes to regulation of practice and regulation of education. As the pandemic continues, associate degree educators will need to continue to stay abreast of nursing regulation changes made to meet healthcare workforce needs while also ensuring public safety.
