The Board of Nursing Home Administrators hereby gives notice:

Christine G. Linan filed a Petition for Variance on May 5, 2014, which notice was published on May 12, 2014, in Vol. 40, No. 92, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance from Rule 64B10-11.002, F.A.C., “Eligibility for Licensure,” which requires that an applicant must complete an internship of at least 650 hours in order to sit for the National Examination. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 20, 2014, in Orlando, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed July 20, 2014, denied the Petition finding that Petitioner has not demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been achieved by other means, nor has Petitioner demonstrated failure to grant the Petition would violate principles of fairness or constitute an undue hardship on Petitioner.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Adrienne Rodgers, Executive Director, Board of Nursing Home Administrators, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257; [phone].
