Please note that after very close review of the current language in 464.0123, and questions arising, it is now under review/discussion for an interpretation of the law by the Board and the Board attorneys as there is some specific clarification needed regarding whether this pertains to faculty credit hours or student clinical hours under a faculty member.

(c) Has completed, in any state, jurisdiction, or territory of the United States, at least 3,000 clinical practice hours, which may include clinical instructional hours provided by the applicant, within the 5 years immediately preceding the registration request while practicing as an advanced practice registered nurse under the supervision of an allopathic or osteopathic physician who held an active, unencumbered license issued by any state, jurisdiction, or territory of the United States during the period of such supervision. For purposes of this paragraph, “clinical instruction” means education provided by faculty in a clinical setting in a graduate program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in a clinical nursing specialty area.

 Members will be notified of the decision on the interpretation of the law as soon as it is received
