On January 3, 2017 at 49 NJR 116, the State Board of Nursing published notice of its repeal of NJAC 13:37-7.3. The regulation had allowed advanced practice nurses to practice under a work permit letter while they were waiting to take the advance practice nursing certification exam. The Board proposed repeal of the regulation because the availability of on line advanced practice nursing certification examinations obviates the need for work permit letters, since applicants no longer need to wait for an exam to be held on a specific date.
