- ARNP Protocol Documents
-
Section 464.012(3), Florida Statutes was amended in the 2017 Legislative Session requiring that an established protocol be maintained at certain locations.
This section removed the requirement that the Board of Nursing reviews or maintains protocols at the department. Instead, established protocols must be maintained on site at the location(s) at which an advanced registered nurse practitioner practices, as well as any updates to protocols.
In the case of multiple supervising physicians in the same group, an advanced registered nurse practitioner must enter into a supervisory protocol with at least one physician within the physician group practice.
Content provided on the ARNP Protocols tab will no longer be updated, as of June 23, 2017. Here is a link to the law change: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/543/BillText/er/PDF , see pages 6-7.
