Findings Of Fact Petitioner attended a two year training program for physician's assistants at the State University of New York in Stonybrook. In the course of this program, petitioner spent ten weeks in an obstetrics rotation. During this ten week period, she delivered at least fifteen babies. She also attended mothers post partum. After moving to Florida, petitioner applied to respondent for a license as a lay midwife. Although she has approached more than ten obstetricians practicing in Florida, she found none willing to supervise her work as a midwife. In support of her second application for license as a lay midwife, petitioner attached a letter signed by Elspeth Reagan, M.D., and another, reciting that petitioner "performed approximately 15-20 normal, spontaneous deliveries under physician supervision and assisted with numerous others." Dr. Reagan's signature had been acknowledged before a notary public. Dr. Reagan is licensed as a physician in New York but is not licensed in Florida. Petitioner did not furnish respondent a list of the names, home addresses or delivery dates of any of the deliveries she performed. On December 4, 1978, respondent denied petitioner's second application on the grounds that it did "not conform to the requirements of . . . Chapter 10D-36.21(2) . . . . [or of] Chapter 10D-36.22(1)(a)2.
Findings Of Fact At all times relevant hereto Respondent was licensed as a licensed practical nursing in Florida and was employed at the Lake Wales Convalescent Center. On the evening of December 29, 1983, Respondent was called into patient Allen's room by the nurses aide because Allen had refused to get into his pajamas as requested and was verbally abusing the aide. Respondent approached Allen, who began swearing at her, whereupon Respondent rolled up a towel and struck Allen several times on the left arm causing some bleeding and bruises which were visible to another witness two days later. Respondent does not deny striking Allen with the towel but contends Allen picked up a pitcher and called her a nigger before she picked up the towel. Respondent denies any intent to hurt the patient and testified she has worked as a licensed practical nurse for 15 years and has never before struck a patient. Allen is senile, often verbally abusive, but has never been violent while a patient at Lake Wales Convalescent Center. He does not bruise as easily as do many elderly patients. It is below the minimal standards of acceptable and prevailing nursing practice to strike a patient and, especially, a senile patient who is not violent.
Findings Of Fact At all times relevant hereto Lawrence D. Urban was a licensed osteopathic physician in Florida having been issued license number OS 001232. From January 1983 through at least March 17, 1984, Respondent maintained offices in Clearwater and Zephyrhills. He practiced in the Clearwater office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week and in the Zephyrhills office on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Respondent employed Wendell Bloom to work in the Zephyrhills office as a business manager and assistant to Respondent. Bloom had no medically related license such as physician's assistant, nurse, technician, etc. As an assistant to Respondent, Bloom drew blood, performed vascular analyses, mixed IV solutions, and administered IV solutions. He worked at the Zephyrhills office Monday through Friday. Bloom had standing orders from Respondent that if a new patient came in Bloom would draw a blood sample, send it to the lab for analysis and make an appointment for the patient to see Respondent when the results of the blood analysis was received. Respondent described his practice in Zephyrhills as holistic, involving nutrition, chelation, and cancer therapy using laetril. Chelation treatment involves the intravenous injections of solutions containing EDTA (Ethylenadiaminetetracetic acid), vitamins, including B12, B complex and C, and the minerals, calcium and magnesium. On many occasions Bloom commenced IV chelation injections containing EDTA before Respondent arrived at the office and completed some of these after Respondent had left the office. On at least five (5) occasions Bloom injected patients with IV solutions containing EDTA without Respondent being present any time during the procedure. Drawing blood without a doctor present in the office constitutes the practice of medicine. Injecting IV solutions in patients constitutes the practice of medicine without a doctor present. In the Zephyrhills office Respondent referred to Bloom as Dr. Bloom in the presence of patients. No sign or disclaimer was posted in the office that Bloom had no prior medical training and was not licensed in any medically related health professional field in Florida. Respondent knew that patients might believe Bloom to be a medical doctor. In administering an IV solution to a patient there is always a danger of an allergic reaction or an anaphylactic reaction, even if a patient has previously tolerated the treatment. Respondent acknowledged that serious side affects would result to a patient receiving an IV solution containing EDTA if the patient suffered kidney failure. Bloom also operated the vascular analyzer machine in the office. As described by Bloom, by attaching clips from the machine to the fingers and toes the machine will tell you if there is any kind of clotting or obstruction any place within the cardiovascular system. Further, by putting transmission gel on the clip and holding it over an artery, transmissions from the clip with the return echo is transformed onto a chart which will denote the elasticity of the artery. This machine is not universally accepted in the medical profession. By Final Order entered August 26, 1983 (Exhibit 1) the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners found Respondent guilty of filing false reports, fee splitting, and abetting an unlicensed person to practice osteopathic medicine. He was sentenced to a reprimand, placed on probation for six (6) months and directed to report to the Board at the end of the probationary period. If, at this time, Respondent's report on the status of his practice satisfies the Board that the financial aspects of his practice is in accordance with the law, the reprimand will be withdrawn. Terms and conditions of the probation were not delineated. Respondent appeared before the Board at its March 17, 1984 meeting. After Respondent reported that the financial aspects of his practice were poor, but in conformity with the law, one of the Board members inquired if Respondent was working with any non-osteopathic physicians in his practice, which was one of the accusations for which he was reprimanded and placed on probation. At this point Respondent told the Board that he had a helper who was a "non- anything" who was drawing blood, doing vascular analyses of patients, giving IVs to patients undergoing chelation therapy and whatever Respondent told him to do. (Exhibit 2) After hearing these disturbing facts the Board voted to extend the Respondent's probation while an investigation of his practice was conducted. The charges considered at this hearing were those resulting from that investigation.
The Issue The issue for disposition in this proceeding is whether Petitioner, Ms. Fearon, is entitled to licensure by endorsement as a registered nurse in Florida. This requires a determination of whether her education is substantially equivalent to or more stringent than required in Florida, pursuant to Section 464.009, Florida Statutes, and Rule 64B9-3.008, Florida Administrative Code.
Findings Of Fact Petitioner Sylem May Fearon (Ms. Fearon) was born in Jamaica, approximately 68 years ago. After being educated in Jamaica she emigrated to England to pursue an education for the practice of professional nursing. Ms. Fearon took courses in geriatric nursing in England for two years, then proceeded to do a three-year general training program (1960-1963). After the general registered nursing education, she took courses in midwifery for two years, passed an examination, and was qualified as a certified nurse midwife in September 1965. Approximately 32 years ago, Ms. Fearon responded to nursing recruiters from the United States; she emigrated to the United States and commenced working as a staff nurse in a hospital in Washington, D.C. Since emigrating to the United States, Ms. Fearon has become a citizen. She took the examinations for nursing licensure in New York and Massachusetts and was successful in obtaining licensure in both states, as well as in Washington, D.C. She maintains current licensure as a registered nurse in Washington, D.C. Approximately two years ago, Ms. Fearon moved to Florida and commenced application for licensure by endorsement as a registered nurse in this state. Florida's and other states' nursing boards do not have reciprocity with each other in the sense that if you are licensed in one state you may also practice in others. Florida and other jurisdictions have licensure by endorsement which allows an applicant for licensure to demonstrate that he or she has passed an examination in another state and has the educational background that is substantially the same or more stringent than required by the state in which the applicant is seeking licensure. This allows an applicant to become licensed without having to take another examination but does not waive other requirements for licensure such as education. After Ms. Fearon applied for licensure by endorsement in Florida, nursing board staff determined that she met all of the requirements except for some areas of her education. The Board of Nursing in Florida has developed guidelines to implement its broad rules on what specific education is required. When staff determines those guidelines are not met, the individual case is brought to the Board which then makes the ultimate decision. In Ms. Fearon's case, the Board accepted the deficiencies identified by its staff and entered the order which Ms. Fearon has challenged in this proceeding. The staff and Board considered a transcript of Ms. Fearon's registered nursing education from the University of Sheffield School of Nursing and Midwifery, hereinafter referred to as the official transcript. Ms. Fearon also provided copies of a "Statement and Recommendation by Director of Nursing" dated July 20, 1967, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner's transcript, and a copy of correspondence from the Chesterfield School of Nursing dated May 2, 1968, which stated Ms. Fearon attended lectures in elementary psychology (8 hours), psychiatry (5 hours) and head injuries (2 hours), hereinafter referred to as the 1968 supplement. The official transcript includes coursework that is not listed on Petitioner's transcript, and there are discrepancies between the official transcript, Petitioner's transcript, and the 1968 supplement; however, these discrepancies did not prejudice Ms. Fearon, according to Dr. Stiehl, executive director of the Board. According to the official transcript, Ms. Fearon's education at the Royal Hospital of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England, consisted of the following coursework in hours: Theory Hours Anatomy and Physiology 42 Personal and Communal Health 21 First Aid 15 Nutrition 8 History of Nursing 2 Elementary Psychology 8 Bacteriology and Principles of Asepsis 15 Theory of Nursing 66 Demonstration and Practical Classes 103 Bandaging 13 Principle of Surgery and Surgical Nursing 15 Principle of Medicine and Medical Nursing 19 Operating Theatre Technique 3 Gynecology and Introduction to Obstetrics 10 Diseases of Ear, Nose and Throat 5 Genito-Urinary Diseases 4 Diseases of the Eye 3 Lecture by Anesthetist 1 Orthopaedics 4 Pharmacology 4 Communicable Disease 6 Venereal Disease 4 Pediatrics and Nursing of Sick Children 8 Psychiatry 5 Social Services 4 Disease of the Skin 4 Radiography 2 Revision and Coaching Classes 10 Practical/Clinical Hours Childrens 375 Female Surgery 487.5 Male Surgery 637.5 Ear, Nose and Throat 150 Opthalmic 300 Female Orthopaedic 75 Male Orthopaedic 300 Male Medical 412.5 Female Medical 187.5 Gynecology 300 Theatre 412.5 Casualty 300 Private Patient Unit 150 Relief Night Duty 225 Preliminary Training School 450 Study Blocks 225 A nursing license is issued by the Board of Nursing for a general practitioner, i.e. the licensee can work in any area of nursing. Therefore, to practice safely, the licensee needs a basic theoretical underpinning in all the basic areas of nursing: medical, surgical, obstetric, pediatric, and psychiatric nursing. Hours spent in patient care is not equivalent to didactic study. Study of theory provides the proper theoretical base to make good clinical decisions. The Board's guidelines establish these minimum standards that must be demonstrated before its staff may approve an applicant (education in hours): Subject Theory Clinical Medical Nursing 35 150 Surgical Nursing 35 150 Obstetric Nursing 20 70 Pediatric Nursing 20 70 Psychiatric Nursing 20 70 Community Health Nursing NO SPECIFIED MINIMUM Ms. Fearon's official transcript met the minimum requirements in Medical Nursing (theory and clinical), Surgical Nursing (theory and clinical), Pediatric Nursing (clinical only), and Community Health Nursing. The official transcript documents only 5 hours of theory in Obstetric Nursing and no clinical hours. The official Transcript demonstrates 300 hours of clinical experience in "Gynecology"; however, gynecology cannot be substituted for obstetrics training. Gynecology and obstetrics training are not interchangeable. In gynecology the training looks at the female patient in totality and at a different set of disease processes than in obstetrics; in obstetrics the training focuses not only on the mother but the growth of the fetus and the health of the child. However, Dr. Stiehl reviewed Petitioner's Exhibit no. 3 (the midwife certificate) and determined that this documents the necessary training in obstetrics. The official transcript documents only 8 hours of theory in Pediatric Nursing and no clinical hours. Ms. Fearon testified that her midwifery training covered pediatrics; however, it does not meet the requirements for theory and clinical training in pediatrics. Midwifery training covers the child from birth to age one; pediatrics covers children from birth to age 18. The official transcript documents only 5 hours of theory in Psychiatric Nursing. The 1968 supplement demonstrates 5 hours in Psychiatric Nursing and 8 hours in Elementary Psychology. Psychology cannot be substituted for psychiatric training. Basic psychology training looks at normal behavior; psychiatric nursing training deals with comparing normal with abnormal and with disease processes such as manic depression. The course in head injuries is not identified as training in psychiatry. Petitioner's transcript documents 12 weeks of clinical training in psychiatry, and the Board staff reviewer gave her full credit for the needed hours. (See worksheet Respondent's Composite Exhibit no 1.) Although Ms. Fearon asserted that she had psychiatric training in her midwifery program, it would not provide the necessary minimum education in psychiatric theory. Ms. Fearon's documentation demonstrates deficiencies in psychiatric theory, pediatrics theory, and clinical training. Even if the information on Petitioner's transcript regarding psychiatric clinical experience is accepted, Petitioner still has not demonstrated sufficient theoretical education. Ms. Fearon testified that she completed two years of geriatric nursing training. No documentation has been provided of what the content of the course was. Education for a lower level of licensure would not be considered as meeting the requirements for licensure as a registered nurse. Ms. Fearon also testified that she completed courses in order to sit for her U.S. licensing examination. However, the courses were not identified, and no documentation of the courses has been submitted. Ms. Fearon did not document the requirements for licensure in New York in 1973, when she was first licensed in the United States. Instead she has responded to the staff's inquires with an effort to provide documentation of her education, most of which occurred over 35 years ago in a program which no longer exists.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing, it is hereby RECOMMENDED: That the Board of Nursing enter its Final Order denying Petitioner's application for licensure by endorsement without prejudice to her right to pursue her application as described above.

The Issue The issue is whether either respondent bore a relationship to Petitioner, as described in Section 760.10, Florida Statutes, that confers jurisdiction upon the Florida Commission on Human Relations to investigate Petitioner's claims of racial discrimination under the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992, Sections 760.01-760.11 and 509.092, Florida Statutes.
Findings Of Fact Petitioner has been a registered nurse licensed in Florida for 14 years. Her specialty is intensive care. Seeking advancement within the profession of nursing, Petitioner decided to pursue certification as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). A CRNA has advanced training and education in anesthesia and passes a national certification examination, which is administered by neither Respondent. Upon passing the examination and meeting other requirements, an applicant is entitled to certification from the Council on Certification of Nurse Anesthetists. After obtaining this certificate and completing other requirements, such as financial responsibility, the applicant is eligible for certification by the Florida Board of Nursing as an advanced registered nurse practitioner in anesthesiology, pursuant to Florida Administrative Code Rule 64B9-4.002. In Florida, a CRNA is authorized to administer anesthesia in in- and out-patient settings and bears significant responsibilities for the safety of anesthetized patients. Petitioner enrolled at Barry University to fulfill the educational requirements for certification. Barry University is a private institution headquartered in Miami Shores and is one of several institutions in Florida that offer a program to satisfy the educational requirements for CRNA certification. The 28-month program at Barry University leads to a master of science degree in anesthesiology. A major component of the educational program is clinical practice. The clinical practice requires a student to perform clinical responsibilities, under supervision, with an anesthesiology group. At the time in question, Barry University maintained relationships with different anesthesiology groups in most major urban areas in Florida. Petitioner began the Barry University program in January 2005 and withdrew from the program in May 2006. She chose to take her clinical training in Orlando, where Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants accepted Barry University students for clinical practice. Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants served various hospitals forming part of the Orlando Regional Healthcare System. Petitioner began the clinical portion of the program in May 2005. No cash is exchanged between Barry University and Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants as part of the arrangement described above. The obvious benefit for Barry University, whose program is not inexpensive, is that Wolverine's supervision of its students in the clinical practice allows Barry to offer a comprehensive anesthesiology program that qualifies its students to sit for the CRNA examination. The obvious benefits to Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants are access to newly certified CRNAs, who are in high demand, and the ability to recruit the students likeliest to excel within the profession. It is less clear, from the present record, if Wolverine is able to bill for the services of more advanced students. From time to time, Wolverine provides Barry with financial support, such as a stipend so that a financially needy student may attend an out-of-town conference, as the tuition charged by Barry does not cover the cost of the program or incidental student costs. The economic relationship between the respondents is only of relevance, however, in providing the background from which to assess the economic relationship between the respondents, on the one hand, and Petitioner--and, more specifically, the value that flows to Petitioner from one or both respondents. Clearly, the educational and clinical programs provide educational value, and potential economic value, if and when certification is obtained, but, as explained in the Conclusions of Law, the key question is what, if any, economic value flows to Petitioner from either respondent during her relationship with each respondent. Neither respondent paid Petitioner any income, compensation, or other benefit, directly or indirectly. Neither respondent ever provided Petitioner with an IRS W-2 statement or Form 1099, as evidence of payments to an employee or independent contractor. She never received compensation of any type from either respondent, nor did she receive an IRS Form 1099, reflective of the payment of compensation to an independent contract. Petitioner never received any other employment- related benefits from either respondent, such as health insurance or retirement benefits. Neither respondent provided Petitioner with housing or a housing allowance. Wolverine did not insure Petitioner on its medical malpractice insurance policy. Neither respondent covered Petitioner under workers' compensation. Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants required Petitioner to sign her name on any anesthesia record pertaining to a case in which she was involved. When Petitioner was required, due to the needs of a particular patient, to work in excess of her scheduled time, she was entitled, from Barry University, to "comp time," which means only that she could receive credit for the additional time worked when setting a subsequent schedule. However, apart from a grant from Barry University as part of her financial-aid package, Petitioner never received any financial benefit from either respondent. In addition to the occasional stipend, which Petitioner does not appear to have received, Wolverine Anesthesia Consultants provided minor items, such as lunches for meetings of the interns, which Petitioner may not have attended, and $50 Christmas gift certificates to all interns, including Petitioner. In no way does the record support an interpretation of these minor acknowledgements or courtesies as compensation because Wolverine is under no obligation to provide them, no relationship exists between the recipient of the item and the amount of time worked, and no relationship exists between the value of the item or stipend and the amount of time worked by the student receiving the item or stipend. Although Barry University administers a comprehensive test to all candidates for a master's degree in anesthesiology, passage of which is required for a degree, Petitioner withdrew from the program prior to the administration of this test. She withdrew essentially due to reports from Wolverine to Barry University that she had failed to make adequate progress in the clinical program.

The Issue Whether Respondent engaged in unprofessional conduct and, if so, what penalty should be imposed on his nursing license.
Findings Of Fact The Department of Health is the state agency charged with regulating the practice of nursing pursuant to Chapter 464, Florida Statutes. Respondent, Cecil Harold Floyd, was at all times material hereto a licensed practical nurse in the State of Florida, having been issued a license numbered PN 0960631. At all times material hereto, Respondent was employed as a licensed practical nurse by the North Shore Senior Adult Community in St. Petersburg, Florida. At all times material hereto, Respondent was assigned to care for Patient M.F., a patient in the skilled nursing section of the North Shore Senior Adult Community. On February 26-27, 1996, Respondent worked as the charge nurse on the 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift. On February 27, 1996, at approximately 6:00 a.m., Respondent wrote in the nurse's notes that Patient M.F. was lethargic and having difficulty swallowing; that the patient's bottom dentures were out; and that the patient's tongue was over to the right side. In this entry, Respondent also noted "will continue to monitor." After Respondent completed his shift on February 27, 1996, Conchita McClory, LPN, was the charge nurse in the skilled nursing facility at North Shore Senior Adult Community. At about 8:10 a.m., Nurse McClory was called by the CNA who was attempting to wake up Patient M.F. Upon Nurse McClory's entering Patient M.F.'s room, she observed that the patient was sleeping, incontinent, and restless and that the right side of the patient's face was dropping. Based on these observations, Nurse McClory believed that Patient M.F. may have suffered a stroke and she immediately called 911. Following the 911 call, Patent M.F. was taken to Saint Anthony's Hospital in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Prior to coming to this country, Conchita McClory had been trained and worked as a registered nurse in the Philippines. However, Ms. McClory is not licensed as a registered nurse in the State of Florida. Saint Anthony's Hospital's records regarding Patient M.F. indicate that the patient had a history of multiple strokes beginning in 1986. The Department’s Administrative Complaint against Respondent included the following factual allegations, all of which were alleged to have occurred on February 27, 1996: At approximately 6:00 a.m., Respondent recorded in the nurse’s notes that Patient M.F. was lethargic and having difficulty swallowing; the patient's bottom dentures were out; and the patient's tongue was over to the right side. Respondent also noted in the nurses' notes that Patient M.F. should continue to be monitored. Patient M.F.'s roommate told Respondent that she believed that M.F. had suffered a stroke because she could not swallow and her speech was slurred. At about 8:00 a.m., Patient M.F.'s roommate went to the nurses' station and requested that a certified nurse's assistant check on M.F. Patient M.F. was found paralyzed on her left side, soaked in urine and unable to speak. There was no evidence presented to support the factual allegations referenced in paragraph 9b and 9c above and included in the Administrative Complaint.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Department of Health, Board of Nursing, enter a final order dismissing the Administrative Complaint against Respondent.
