NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 15, 2006, the Board of Nursing, received a petition for Variance or Waiver filed on September 15, 2006 by Alice Nied, MSN, R.N. Pursuant to Chapter 28-104, F.A.C., and Section 120.542, F.S., petitioner seeks a waiver of the provisions of Rule 64B9-2.013, F.A.C., entitled “Program Changes Requiring Board Approval.” Specifically, the Petitioner requests that in order to prevent the creation of hardship for 24 additional students admitted to a nursing program at Florida Community College in Jacksonville (FCCJ) without prior approval from the Board as a result of an FCCJ erroneous interpretation of the rule, the Board waive the requirement for such an approval. FCCJ acknowledges that a serious mistake has been made, even though it was unintentional. The college now seeks to remedy the situation in whatever way is necessary that will not negatively impact the students who enrolled in good faith.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Rick Garcia, Executive Director, Board of Nursing, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3259.
