64B10-11.002: Examination for Licensure

The Board of Nursing Home Administrators hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Marie L. Geary. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 36, No. 22, of the June 4, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on July 23, 2010. The petition requested a waiver or variance from the requirement imposed by Rule 64B10-11.002, Florida Administrative Code, with respect to the following licensure requirement: the applicant must pass the required examinations administered by the National Association of Boards of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators.

The Board’s Order, filed on August 13, 2010, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver of Rule 64B10-11.002, Florida Administrative Code, finding that Petitioner has complied with the requirements of Section 120.542(2) of the Florida Statutes. Specifically, Petitioner has demonstrated that Petitioner’s 1999 NAB score is accepted as a passing score. Additionally, Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of Rule 64B10-11.002, Florida Administrative Code, would create a substantial hardship or violate principles of fairness within the meaning of Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes. Based upon the foregoing, the Board determined that Petitioner is eligible for a waiver or variance of Rule 64B10-11.002, Florida Administrative Code.
