SEC. 1331. Examination—fees—certificates—where registered—
transfer by treasurer of state.
1 Any person who shall apply for a certificate to practice nursing
2 shall be examined in the following subjects : elementary hygiene, anat-
3 omy, physiology, materia medica, dietetics, and also practical nursing,
4 medical and surgical nursing, obstetrics, nursing of children and the
5 rules and regulations of the state board of health relating to infectious
6 diseases and quarantine and such other subjects as the examining
7 board may require from time to time. Each applicant shall pay the
8 secretary of the state board of health a fee of five dollars. If the
9 examination be satisfactory to three members of said committee it
10 shall so report to the state board of health ; if the board find the report
11 and ratings correct, it shall authorize its president and secretary to
12 issue a certificate to the successful candidate for which such candidate
13 shall pay an additional fee of one dollar. This certificate shall confer
14 upon the holder the right to practice as a registered nurse and be
15 conclusive evidence thereof. The state board of health is empowered
16 to recognize certificates issued to nurses under the laws of other states
17 having substantially similar requirements to those existing in this
18 state; provided that such states recognize certificates issued by the
19 state of Iowa; then certificates issued by authority of, such other
20 states may be deemed sufficient evidence of qualifications of the licen-
21 tiate without further examination for certificate in this state ; the fee
22 for such certificate shall be ten dollars. The holder of such certificate
23 provided for in this chapter shall cause the same to be registered in
24 the office of the county recorder of the county wherein he intends to
25 reside.
26 On the thirtieth day of June in each year, the state treasurer
27 shall transfer to the general revenues of the state any balance, in
28 excess of five hundred dollars, remaining in the fund derived from
29 fees collected under this section.
