Hello:

I am wondering if any nurses out there have been deemed ineligible to practice in the state of Florida by AHCA?

The new background check rules began on August 1st, I believe. If deemed ineligible by AHCA, based on criminal history, then you must apply for an exemption thru the BON.

I have a charge from almost 20 years ago, and have been declared ineligible to work. Really blindsided me!! Curious if anyone has had the same thing happen, and how there experience with appealing to the FBON has worked out?

In case anyone is wondering, it is a possession charge from almost 20 years ago.

Thank you-

K-

p.s. I have posted this in the Florida nurses forum, as well.
