NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 03, 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 January 3, 2008 on behalf of Sharon Jo Churchill. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Volume 33, No. 04, of the January 25, 2008, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner requested that on the basis of fairness and hardship reasons described in the Petition, the Board grant a permanent variance or waiver of Rule 64B9-2.008, F.A.C., entitled “Clinical Training,” so as to allow her to sit for the Florida NCLEX examination and to practice as a Registered Nurse in the State if Florida.
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 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.
