Chapter 464, known and often referred to as the Nurse Practice Act, is separated into two parts. Part I discusses the advanced practiced registered nurse, registered nurse, and licensed practical nurse. The purpose of this statue is to ensure that every nurse practicing in the state of Florida is held to and meets the minimum standards for safe practice. Because of this, nurses who do not meet the minimum standards or display a threat to society are barred from practicing nursing in the state of Florida. The Board of Nursing is the governing body for the Nurse Practice Act and deal with matters such as provide licensure, create rules, and manage disciplinary actions. Part II focuses on the certified nursing assistant. Chapters 456 and Division 64B9 are guidance and further statues that pertain to the nursing profession.
This course is designed to meet the requirements of Division 64B9-5 as it pertains to 2 continuing education hours about Florida’s laws and regulations of the nursing practice.
