The Board of Nursing hereby gives notice that it has received a Petition for Declaratory Statement filed on June 14, 2006 on behalf of Julie Auchtung, RN. The Petitioner seeks the Board’s guidance pertaining to the practice of “biofeedback” and the Registered Nurse. Specifically, the Petitioner requests that the Board issue a Declaratory Statement determining whether it is within the scope of practice of a Registered Nurse, who is properly trained and certified in biofeedback therapy, to administer this therapy to patients who are referred by psychiatrists or other physicians, and whether this can be done by the Registered Nurse as an independent nurse practitioner not working under the license of a physician or psychiatrist.

Copies of the petition may be obtained by writing: Rick Garcia, Executive Director, Board of Nursing, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3259.
