Article 139 - Nursing
6907 - Limited Permits.

§ 6907. Limited permits. 1. A permit to practice as a registered
professional nurse or a permit to practice as a licensed practical nurse
may be issued by the department upon the filing of an application for a
license as a registered professional nurse or as a licensed practical
nurse and submission of such other information as the department may
require to (i) graduates of schools of nursing registered by the
department, (ii) graduates of schools of nursing approved in another
state, province, or country or (iii) applicants for a license in
practical nursing whose preparation is determined by the department to
be the equivalent of that required in this state.

2. Such limited permit shall expire one year from the date of issuance
or upon notice to the applicant by the department that the application
for license has been denied, or ten days after notification to the
applicant of failure on the professional licensing examination,
whichever shall first occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this subdivision, if the applicant is waiting the result of a
licensing examination at the time such limited permit expires, such
permit shall continue to be valid until ten days after notification to
the applicant of the results of such examination.

3. A limited permit shall entitle the holder to practice nursing only
under the supervision of a nurse currently registered in this state and
with the endorsement of the employing agency.

4. Fees. The fee for each limited permit shall be thirty-five dollars.

5. Graduates of schools of nursing registered by the department may be
employed to practice nursing under supervision of a professional nurse
currently registered in this state and with the endorsement of the
employing agency for ninety days immediately following graduation from a
program in nursing and pending receipt of a limited permit for which an
application has been filed as provided in this section.
