Ala. Admin. Code r. 540-X-8-.13 - Grounds For Denial/Withdrawal Of Approval Of The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner And Collaborating Physician
(1) The commission by a certified registered
nurse practitioner of any act, offense, or condition set forth in
Code of Ala. 1975, §
34-21-25 and/or Board of Nursing
Administrative Code Rule 610-X-8 and/or the commission by the collaborating
physician of any act, offense or condition set forth in Code of
Ala. 1975, §
34-24-57 and §
34-24-360, shall be grounds,
within the discretion of the respective board, to deny an application of the
certified registered nurse practitioner or collaborating physician.
(2) If upon examination of the application
for approval and after consideration of any information acquired by the Board
of Nursing and/or the Board of Medical Examiners pursuant to an investigation
into the qualifications of the physician or of the certified registered nurse
practitioner, either board determines there is probable cause to believe there
exists one or more grounds upon which the application may be denied, then the
respective board shall:
(a) Notify the
physician and/or the certified registered nurse practitioner of the grounds for
possible denial of approval and the procedure for obtaining a hearing before
the respective board. The failure to request a hearing within the time
specified in the notice shall be deemed a waiver of such hearing.
(b) All hearings under this rule shall be
conducted in accordance with the Code of Ala. 1975,
Alabama Administrative Procedure Act, §
41-22-1, et. seq.
(3) A nurse practitioner who is
decertified by the appropriate national certifying organization shall notify
the Board of Nursing of that fact and shall not practice or use the title of
certified registered nurse practitioner during the time of
de-certification.
(4) When for any
reason the collaborative practice agreement with the physician designated in
the application for approval is terminated, then approval of such certified
registered nurse practitioner and collaborating physician designated in the
application is automatically withdrawn. The certified registered nurse
practitioner and the physician shall each inform their respective board in
writing of the effective date of the termination of the collaborative practice
agreement and the reasons for such termination. Failure to notify the
respective board of termination may be considered a violation of these rules
and regulations for the purpose of approval of future applications.
