NNLC membership is representative of nursing within the Indian heath system and includes nurses from public health, inpatient, outpatient, urban and tribal programs. Each of the twelve (12) IHS Area Nursing Councils has two NNLC representatives; one representative is the Area Nurse Consultant (if one exists for the Area) and one representative is selected by the Area Nursing Councils (two if no Area Nurse Consultant exists for that Area). The NNLC is also comprised of two (2) IHS Headquarters Division of Nursing Program Consultants, one advanced practice nurse, and one National Nurse Recruiter. The IHS Chief Nurse is an ex-officio member of the NNLC.
