The Board of Nursing hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on December 22, 2015, by Taylor Lauren Bouthot. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 42, No. 4, the January 7, 2016 Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 64B9-3.002, Florida Administrative Code, regarding the requirement of a completed Practice Nurse Equivalence Application Letter. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 3-5, 2016, in Miami, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed on March 15, 2016, denied the petition for the following reason: The Board found that the Petitioner did not show why application of the rule would cause a substantial hardship or violate the principles of fairness and that the purpose of the underlying statute would be achieved by other means.

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