On Friday, June 23, 2017, Governor Scott  signed signed into law HB543. This bill contains language that changes our protocol requirements!

Effective immediately ARNPs in Florida will no longer have to file their protocol with the Board of Nursing!  A signed copy on site will be required.

Look for an update from the Board of Nursing soon  with more details.

 We applaud our champions  at FNPN who have  been the lead organization on the protocol piece of the bill.  Sincere appreciation goes to all those who helped get this important piece of legislation passed and especially to  lobbyist Allison Carvajal and sponsors:  Rep. Pigman, and Sen. Grimsley. 

For more updates, we invite you to attend the FNPN conference in Orlando 8/10/17-8/12/17 to stay "in the know" !
