"who register with the Board of Nursing for autonomous practice as defined in Section 464.0123, FS".
Is there a separate registration for autonomous practice other than registration from the Board of Nursing as an APRN?

This is exciting news for APRNs in Florida. As a Psych Clin Spec and an FNP, i am concerned there is no Psych representation and yet Psychiatric Care being included in Primary Care Definition is one of the main issues in for the Council to vote on. So I would ask the Council to get any needed help or clarification from the Psychiatric NPs.

I've know Vicky Stone-Gale for many years, what a great choice! She has done so much the NP professional and I know she'll do an awesome job!
I'm interested in knowing how we go about meeting the course requirements for autonomous practice.
