Florida’s Nurse Practice Act and Board of Nursing rules define every boundary of legal practice, yet most compliance failures stem from nurses knowing only the statute — not the administrative code that implements it. This course consolidates current law across Chapter 464 FS and Division 64B9 FAC into a practical framework for delegation, discipline, and license renewal.
📖 OUR APPROACH
Our courses are built entirely from peer-reviewed research. We focus on what the research actually says — not personal anecdotes or opinion — and update content rapidly as new evidence emerges.
✅ LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
– Identify the composition of the Florida Board of Nursing and its primary purpose as defined in Chapter 464, Florida Statutes.
– Describe the relationship between Florida Statutes (FS), as passed by the Legislature, and the Florida Administrative Code (FAC), as implemented by the Board of Nursing.
– Apply the five rights of delegation as described in Division 64B9, Florida Administrative Code, to a common clinical scenario involving unlicensed assistive personnel.
– Differentiate between the legal scopes of practice for the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and the Registered Nurse (RN) as specified in Chapter 464, Florida Statutes.
– Select the correct action a nurse must take when suspecting a colleague is impaired, according to Chapter 456, Florida Statutes, and the rules governing the Intervention Project for Nurses (IPN).
– Compare the general grounds for discipline in Chapter 456, FS (applicable to all health professionals), with the specific nursing-related grounds for discipline in Chapter 464, FS.
– Recognize the mandatory continuing education (CE) requirements, including mandated topic hours, for biennial license renewal as outlined in Division 64B9, Florida Administrative Code.
