NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Nursing has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Christina Land on December 6, 2018. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition: The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 45, No. 25, of February 6, 2019 in the Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a Declaratory Statement from the Board with regards to whether it is within the scope of practice of a registered nurse, to inject botulinum toxin and dermal fillers for the purpose of treating hyperhidrosis and static and dynamic rhytidosis under a physician’s supervision in a Medical Spa. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-notice meeting on February 7, 2019 in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on April 19, 2019, finds that the administration of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers is not approved for use in the treatment of hyperhidrosis and therefore, not within the scope of practice of registered nursing to administer botulinum toxin and dermal fillers.
