Petition for rule making filed with the Board of Nursing

Hi. This came across the cyber-waves last night. The link to the announcement is below. Click on “More details on this petition” and then on “transmittal sheet” to see the petition. Essentially it’s requesting that the BON consider clinical hours obtained in a paramedic curriculum to count for clinical hours in a nursing education program. The petition will be filed in the Register of Regulations on July 28, at which time a public comment period of 30 days will begin (until Aug 27th).

Here is the link to the petition.
