2019 Renewal Continuing Competency
Advanced Wilderness Life Support Certification Course
The Board discussed an email request for this certification course to see if it would qualify for CE and/or a Board recognized national certification.
The national certification, AWLS certification is not currently listed in the continuing
competency booklet. So, the Board considered the course for continuing education. The information reviewed by the Board indicated that AWLS is approved for AMA
PRA Category 1 credits through the Wilderness Medical Society and that the AWLS program is also approved by ACEP, AAFP and AAPA, which are not listed on the approved provider list for CE in the Continuing Competency booklet
The Board discussed if the course met the following definitions: "Certification" means a form of specialized credentialing, under sponsorship of a
recognized national certifying body that has verified an applicant's advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities in defined areas of nurse practice specialties as listed in section 16-89-85. (Definition of “Certification” in HAR 16-89-2)
"Competency" means the ability of a nurse to integrate knowledge, skills, judgment
and personal attributes to practice safely and ethically in the professional nursing position and in accordance with the scope of nationally recognized nursing practices. (Definition of “Competency” in HRS 457-2)
"Continuing competency" means the long-term educational and professional
process by which an individual undertakes and documents with verifiable evidence a personal learning plan that encompasses a periodic self-assessment of personal strengths and weaknesses as present in the individuals practice as a nurse as well as a commitment to furthering the individual's professional knowledge relating to the nursing field. (Definition of “Continuing competency” in HRS 457-2)
After careful consideration, it was the consensus of the Board that the above-
mentioned course hours would count towards the continuing education hours because of the AMA credits by the ACCME, who is a Board recognized provider of continuing education for nurses.
Board of Nursing Minutes of June 6, 2019 Meeting Page 5
Request for Extension (of continuing competency requirement(s))
The EO requested clarification from the Board for requests for extension of the continuing competency requirements. She stated that HRS §457-9.2 allows the Board to extend the deadline for compliance with the continuing competency requirements on a case by case basis and that prior to the expiration of the license, a nurse may submit a written request for an extension and any documentation, including documentation requested by the Board to substantiate the reason for the extension of the deadline for compliance with the continuing competency requirement based on the following:
(1) Illness, as certified by a physician or osteopathic physician licensed under
chapter 453 or advanced practice registered nurse licensed under chapter 457 in the jurisdiction in which the licensee was treated; or
(2) Military service under extended active duty with the armed forces of the United
States.
After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board:
1. Delegate to the EO to approve extension requests that: a) Illness – Up to 6 months, unless specified in the physician or APRNs note; b) Military service – Dependent on the orders
2. If the physician or APRN is NOT licensed pursuant to HRS Chapters 453 or
457, the Board is unable to approve the extension request. The Board did note that this section specifying that the physician or APRN be licensed pursuant to these specific sections should be reconsidered and possibly amended in case the nurse is living in another jurisdiction and is under the care of a physician or APRN who is not licensed pursuant to HRS Chapters 453 or 457.
Criminal History Background Check Request for Extension (of fingerprint for criminal background history check)
The EO requested clarification for extension requests for fingerprinting requirement for those randomly selected for the purpose of renewal of a nurse license pursuant to HRS §§457-5 and 457-9.
The EO also reported that if a nurse is unable to be fingerprinted at an authorized
Fieldprint site, i.e. out of the country, the nurse may request fingerprint cards be mailed to them. Individuals then get fingerprinted by an authorized vendor of Fieldprint and mail the fingerprint cards directly to the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center.
After further discussion and review of HRS §§457-5 and 457-9, the Board
determined that these sections do not authorize the Board to grant extensions for the criminal history records check.

New Safe Harbor for Nurses Law in New Mexico The Vice Chair reported that a new law in New Mexico, the Safe Harbor Nurses Act, is intended to protect nurses from adverse action by a facility when a nurse makes a good faith request to be allowed to reject an assignment on the basis of the nurse’s assessment of his/her education, knowledge, competence or experience and the nurse’s immediate assessment of the risk for patient safety, or violation of the nurse practice act or board of nursing rules. The law allows a nurse to invoke the safe harbor law when he/she questions the medical reasonableness of another health care provider’s order that the nurse is required to execute.
eNLC Update
The Chair reported that Indiana and Alabama have joined the eNLC bringing the number to 33 states who have joined the compact.
The Chair also recommended that a committee be formed to address the Board’s
concerns and to dialogue with NCSBN.
Scope of Practice
Nurse Performing Battlefield Acupressure The Board discussed the following email inquiry: “I work at VA Pacific Islands in the Nursing Education office as the Health Promotion Disease Prevention Program Manager and the Whole Health Lead. I am wanting to coordinate an acupressure course (Battlefield Acupressure – for pain) for nurses here at our facility. Is this permissible according to our scope of practice?”
Ms. Boyer stated that according to the Scope of Practice Decision Making Framework, acupressure is not specifically prohibited in the nurse practice act.
The EO noted that she checked with the Board of Massage Therapy and was informed that acupressure is considered an advanced modality of massage therapy and therefore falls within the practice of massage therapy which requires a massage therapist license, however, HRS Chapter 452-21 refers to an exemption for “healing arts” and that nurses may fall under that exemption.
After careful consideration, it was the consensus of the Board to refer the inquirer to the Scope of Practice Decision Making Framework posted on the Board’s webpage.
Board of Nursing Minutes of June 6, 2019 Meeting Page 12
Widespread Misapplication by Physicians, Pharmacies of CDC Guidelines The Board discussed the following email: “Aloha,
I am writing to ask the MEDICAL BOARD and the PHARMACY BOARD: What are you doing to mitigate the damages done and continue to be done to stable long-term pain Hawaiian patients by mis-informed physicians and pharmacies in Hawaii, who continue to lie to patients, errantly blaming the state government and DEA, and errantly citing CDC guidelines as a justification for forcing opioid dosage limits and tapers in stable long-term pain patients?
At this point, both boards need the to emergently inform all physicians and pharmacies against such practices since the CDC justification has been found to be groundless, and in my opinion, does constitute medical malpractice. It is immoral and goes completely against ADA statutes that protect the disabled.
I will again cite recent CDC warnings against such practices: ““In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued prescribing guidelines to reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. What followed, however, was widespread misapplication by physicians, as well as insurers, government agencies, pharmacy chains, and health employers, which invoked the guideline as grounds to involuntarily reduce — and in some cases cease — opioid treatment for many chronic pain patients.” ( https://www.aei.org/press/chronic-pain-patients-to-benefit-as-centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention-reexamines-opioid-prescription-guidelines/)
I write this as a member of the Oahu medical community who has direct knowledge that such widespread misapplication practices continue by physicians who must be ill-informed or lacking common sense. I hear it in the cries of patients being forcibly reduced or completely off their pain meds, even though they are long term stable patients. They also inform me of the practice of forced invasive procedures and surgeries as a requirement for opioid medical management. These are practices that need to be condemned immediately. It certainly has in many cases led to patient abandonment by physicians. Worse, it has led to an increase in suicides in chronic pain patients.
You can read the most recent full CDC response here: https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CDC-Director-Response-Letter-to-Dr.-Satel.pdf. The CDC does not condone the misapplication of their guidelines meant for new pain patients and not stable long-term patients. Physicians who continue in these errors are put at legal risks for medical malpractice and damages done to patients by the cited errant policies which have resulted in real harm to patients suffering from chronic pain.
Sincerely,
David J Barton MD HIPPPC, Waimanolo”
Board of Nursing Minutes of June 6, 2019 Meeting Page 13
Ms. Stone Murai provided a summary of the April 10, 2019 letter from the CDC, referred to by Dr. Barton, in which the CDC states in part, “The Guidelines does not endorse mandated or abrupt dose reduction or discontinuation, as these actions can result in patient harm. The Guideline includes recommendations for clinicians to work with patients to taper or reduce dosage only when patient harm outweighs patient benefit of opioid therapy.”
After careful consideration, it was the consensus of the Board to post the CDC April 10, 2019 letter on their web page in conjunction with the CDC Checklist on prescribing opioids for chronic pain.
Emails from Billy Dickson – Praises for Nurses
The Board reviewed and discussed an email from Billy Dickson praising the following nurses who are caring for his mother:
Nurse Heliry Nurse Sunshine Nurse Tim Nurse M.J. Nurse Gina Nurse Erin Nurse Michelle Sato Hawaii State Center Ms. Reichhardt reported on the following: for Nursing:
• Workforce Survey for Nurse Renewal – 8,900 (64%) nurses have completed the Center’s workforce survey;
• The Education Capacity Survey for Academic year 2017-2018 is almost completed. After review of the draft, there were some great new findings in improving the usability of its data and increasing its resourcefulness for our state.
• HSFCN received a grant from the Department of Labor to hold conversations about financial barriers for nursing educations including students who are unable to complete their education or achieve their goaled degree. The outcomes will be released in the Fall.
• Locally, there are a few initiatives that are going on including HB 658 which hopefully will begin in August. Preceptor tax credits are also coming along.
• HSFCN has been working with statewide partners on workforce development and workforce pipelines. The Chamber of Commerce and HAH are doing a Demand Survey, which may be the most detailed nursing demand survey that the state will have in its history. However, it will only be looking at the funded positions. The report will become available on Labor Day. In regarding to education, clinical placements continue to be the biggest constraints of nursing education. Not just as the RN level, but also LPNs and APRNs are experiencing difficulties.
