Ms. Gustafson gave a brief review of the May Rules Report. Ms. Gustafson stated they have begun notices of rule development due to legislative changes to eliminate medical errors continuing education for initial licensure and to include the negative formulary rule. Ms. Guillemette stated that 64B9-5.002 has language regarding medical errors licensure that needs to be amended to state that 2 hours is needed each biennium for renewal. A motion was made by Newman to open rule 64B9-5.002 for development. Motion passed unanimously.

3. Litigation Update

Ms. Guillemette informed the board about a petition filed in the Judicial Leon County Circuit from the Florida Academy of Nursing for injunctive relief so the Board will be unable to put the school on probation. Ms. Guillemette said that Florida Academy of Nursing is arguing that their test scores have not been considered for two full calendar year and that the board staff is using partial time within the year. The Circuit Judge stated that the Board should not be considering partial quarters when a school begins submitting test scores, but only the following two calendar years. A motion was made by Newman to accept that the board recognizes a calendar year as January 1st to December 31st and will not recognize a particle calendar year for the first testing cohort from a program. Motion passed unanimously.

I. Discussion

A. Probable Cause Panel- Participation 1. S. 456.073, FS - Disciplinary Proceedings.

Dr. Newman asked board members to state their concerns on why it is difficult for

everyone to serve on panels. Ms. Forst expressed difficulty in signing up for

panels during certain times of the year. Ms. Gustafson suggested changing the

day and time of the panel and reminded the board that the panel must have at

least one licensed member and one current member. Mr. Baker expressed the

importance of participating on a panel once agreeing to join. Ms. Gustafson

added to this by discussing possible quorum issues when board members back

out of participating in panels.

2. Point of contact

Mr. Baker expressed that if board members are on a panel and are unable to

participate, they need to contact the board staff as soon as possible and not PSU

so it is known and can be dealt with accordingly.

B. Possible 2017 Legislation: 1. S. 464.012, FS – ARNP certification; possible elimination of obsolete route

Mr. Baker and Ms. Gustafson explained to the Board that according to

464.012(1)(c), FS; The statute does not specify that one must have a Master’s

Degree, but only that they have graduated from a program leading to one.

Florida can accept applicants by endorsement from other states who don’t have

a Master’s Degree who want to be licensed as an ARNP in Florida. A motion was

made by Newman to have this language addressed if it moves forward in the

2017 package. Motion passed unanimously.

2. S. 464.019, FS – Proposed Revisions

Under 464.019(1)(c), FS; the Board agreed to adding “per subject area”.

Discussion then ensued regarding the possibility of Florida nursing schools

having clinical facilities in U.S. territories. Mr. Baker suggested limiting clinical

training to the United States and the District of Columbia. The board agreed with

Mr. Baker’s suggestion. Under 464.019(1)(f), FS; the board agreed to add “as

specified by the board in rule, shall…”. Under 464.019(2)(e), FS; the Board

agreed to add “An applicant for program approval shall permit the board to

conduct an on-site evaluation.” Under 464.019(5)(a), FS; Mr. Baker expressed to

the Board that obtaining reports based only on first time test takers who

graduated within the first 6 months is cumbersome and shows unrealistic data.

This also causes schools to make students wait until after the 6 months. The

board agreed to strike this from the law. In the same section, the board also

agreed to add “the program shall present a documented plan for remediation

5 | Page

which shall include specific benchmarks to identify progress towards a graduate

passage rate goal.”, strike “the board shall place the program on probationary

status pursuant to chapter 120”, add “approval of the remediation plan, the board

shall place the program on probationary status pursuant to chapter 120.” And

strike “for remediation, which shall include specific benchmarks to”. Under

464.019(5)(b), FS; the board agreed to add “the program director fails to appear

and”. Under 464.019(7)(d), FS; the board agreed to add “cannot be licensed

until” and “from the date of termination or closing has passed” and strike “prior to

filing a new application approval”. Under 464.019(8)(3), FS; the board agreed to

add this to the law. Under 464.019(11)(e), FS; the board agreed to add “A

nursing education program which fails to meet the requirement for accreditation

shall be terminated and ineligible for re-approval for a period of 3 years”.

3. Change ARNP Title to APRN

The board is in agreement with changing the ARNP title to APRN.

4. Other

Mr. Baker asked the board if there are any other possible changes they would

like to see. Ms. Forst wanted to know if people who were educated out of the US

could indicate to the board what they have been doing since their education. Ms.

Guillemette explained that because they are required to take the NCLEX, this is

not needed.

C. 2016 Legislation: 1. HB 423

a) Rule 64B9-4.010 ARNP Standards for Protocols

Protocols currently require every supervising physician sign an ARNP’s protocol.

The board discussed the potential of having a Medical Director sign off on the

protocol instead of every doctor. Ms. Whitson brought up there could be

physicians who may not want an ARNP doing particular things but have no say

because the medical director signed off instead of them. A health care attorney

from the audience stated that in our frequently asked questions, we already allow

this. Ms. Gustafson suggested adding the DEA number of the ARNP if

applicable. Ms. Gustafson also proposed having a rule workshop for this so that

people with interest in this rule may come and give their ideas. The board agreed

with doing this for the August 2016 board meeting.

b) Approved Organizations to Offer Required ARNP Controlled Substance

CE

Mr. Baker told the board that the new CE requirement will begin on August 1st

since there is a renewal ending on July 31st. Mr. Baker then asked for guidance

on whether or not the board deemed “offered” to include courses accredited or

6 | Page

approved by AANA, AANP, and ANCE. The board agreed those would be

acceptable CEs.

2. HB 977

a) Rule 64B9-4.002(3) – adding language related to new Psych Nurse

certification

Mr. Baker asked the board to identify certifying bodies within this rule. The board

agreed to let the board staff and counsel draft language for the rule amendment

for the August board meeting.

3. HB 1061- Nurse Licensure Compact

Mr. Baker let the board know that there are ten states which have now joined.

Ms. Johnson asked what the difference was between the old and new compact.

Mr. Baker explained that the new compact requires a criminal background check

from every participating state and someone with a felony conviction may not

have a compact license. Participants in IPN or a similar program would also be

ineligible for a multi-state license.

D. Rule 64B9- 8.006- Disciplinary guidelines (Review of current guidelines

in addition to new requirements under HB 423 & HB 977) Ms. Gustafson asked the board to consider upping the maximum penalty for criminal violation.

Ms. Gustafson specifically requested for the maximum penalty for the first offense be

revocation. A motion was made by Newman to make the changes as proposed. Motion passed

unanimously. Ms. Gustafson will bring the revised copy to show the board in August after she

makes the changes.

E. S. 464.018(1)(d)2, FS - 1st Time Retail Theft Ms. Guillemette noted she saw inconsistency on board motions and would like board guidance

to make it more consistent. Current matrix shows 1st time theft for applicants to be approved

without going to the board but when they are licensed, they are being treated differently. Ms.

Gustafson explained the difference between a letter of guidance and a letter of concern. The

board agreed they will begin recommending a letter of guidance instead of an administrative

complaint in future probable cause panels.

F. Rule Clean-up 1. Rule 64B9-4.004(3)(a) – deleting “notarized true and correct”

Deleting this would allow board staff to accept copies of board certifications. A

motion was made by Newman to delete the language. Motion passed

unanimously. A motion was made by Newman to accept that this would not have

adverse monetary effect. Motion passed unanimously.

2. Rule 64B9-3.0025 Remedial Courses for Reexamination.

a) Offerings by programs on probationary status.

7 | Page

Ms. Guillemette and Dr. Hubbard will work on language to present to the board at

the August meeting.

G. Division of Work Load: Dr. Newman expressed concern with committee workload being imbalanced due to committees

adjourning at different times. Mr. Baker stated the difference in workload depends on the time of

year (graduation, etc.) and suggested we could switch certain items between committees

depending on the time of the year to keep it balanced.
