What to know

The Board of Nursing Home Administrators' own rules, Chapter 64B10, F.A.C., cover licensure details, continuing education, inactive licenses, discipline and the administrator-in-training (AIT) program. Applicants must pass both the national and state exams within one year of applying or reapply, and a Board committee decides temporary license eligibility. Licensees complete a one-hour HIV/AIDS course by first renewal and a two-hour medical errors course. Each biennium needs at least 40 contact hours of 50 minutes each; a college credit hour counts as three, and credit is given for precepting an AIT, precepting interns, attending a full Board meeting or serving as an expert witness. A license inactive for more than two cycles may require a Board appearance. Fines are due within 30 days of the order, minor paperwork lapses can end in a Notice of Noncompliance, citations reach only first offenses, and some economic violations can be mediated. A probable cause panel has two or three members. AIT reports are co-signed and filed bi-monthly or quarterly, with set minimum shares of time for each domain of practice, and preceptors take a six-hour seminar with two-hour refreshers.
