North Vernon nurse named to state nursing board

NORTH VERNON — A North Vernon nurse was appointed to the Indiana State Board of Nursing this week by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

Nancy Juengst of North Vernon, a licensed practical nurse at Madison State Hospital, was named to the nine-member board that regulates the nursing profession in the state and will serve a four-year term.

By law, the board evaluates applications for nurse licensing, issues and renews nursing licenses and takes disciplinary actions against nurses when needed. The board typically meets twice monthly in Indianapolis.
