The Board of Nursing hereby gives notice that on May 9, 2016, a Notice of Intent to Deny Petition for Waiver and Variance was filed. The Petition for Waiver or Variance was filed by Nursing School of Excellence on March 10, 2016, seeking a waiver or variance from subsection 64B9-15.005(6), F.A.C., with regard to not having any test takers for one calendar year. The Notice was published in Volume 42, No. 50, of the Florida Administrative Register on March 14, 2016. The Board, at its meeting held on April 6-8, 2016, voted to deny the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner did not demonstrate a substantial hardship; that application of the rule did not violate the principles of fairness; and that the purpose of the underlying statute was not met.
