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in the application is automatically withdrawn.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.
