NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 02, 2008, the Board of Nursing has issued an order.
The Board of Nursing has issued an Order on the Petition for Variance or Waiver, which was filed on April 2, 2008 on behalf of Christiane Kom. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 34, No. 4, of the January 25, 2008, issue of the F.A.W. The Petitioner requested that on the basis of fairness and hardship reasons described in the Petition, the Board waive the clinical component of the educational requirements under Rule 64B9-2.008, F.A.C., entitled “Clinical Training,” for Registered Nurse licensure.
The Board of Nursing considered the Petition at its meeting held on February 14, 2008, in Tallahassee, Florida and approved the Petition, finding that the petitioner met the purpose of the underlying statute, and application of Rule 64B9-2.008, F.A.C., to this applicant would violate the principles of fairness.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Rick Garcia, Executive Director, Board of Nursing, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3259.
