64B9-15.005Standards for Certified Nursing Assistant Training Programs

The Board of Nursing hereby gives notice of issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed June 10, 2014, by Flagler Technical Institute. Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published July 8, 2014, in Vol. 40, No. 131, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner requested a variance or waiver of Rule 64B9-15.005, F.A.C., for an extension of the probationary period. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on August 7, 2014.

The Board’s Order, filed August 28, 2014, denied the petition finding that the Petitioner has not established that the purpose of the underlying statute, §464.2085, F.S., would be met were the Petitioner to be granted a variance from the rule. Additionally, Petitioner has failed to establish that the Board’s application of Rule 64B9-15.005, F.A.C., to Petitioner’s circumstances would violate the principles of fairness or would impose a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Joe Baker, Jr., Executive Director, Board of Nursing, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C02, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3252, [phone], [e-mail].
