Advisory opinion regarding whether Patricia LaBrosse, a member of the Louisiana Board of Examiners of Nursing Facility Administrators, may become an adjunct professor with LSU Alexandria regarding nursing facility administrators. |
|
Patricia LaBrosse was appointed as an ex-officio member of the Louisiana Board of Examiners of Nursing Facility Administrators (LABENFA) on March 26, 2008. The Board provides for the licensing of nursing facility administrators.
On August 10, 2011, Dr. Haywood Joiner, the chairman of the Department of Allied Health at LSU Alexandria, gave testimony to the LABENFA regarding the creation of a new educational program at LSU-A, which required modification of the rules and regulations of LABENFA. The rule change increased the educational requirements necessary for an educational waiver to include a bachelor's or master's degree in health care administration or a bachelor's or master's degree with a concentration in studies and a clinical internship consistent with existing requirements.
The rule change was authorized at the August 2011 meeting. At that time, Dr. Joiner discussed with Ms. LaBrosse the possibility of Ms. LaBrosse teaching in the new program based on her background and previous teaching experience at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
The LABENFA has no relationship and is not associated with LSU-Alexandria. The LABENFA will not and does not need to certify Ms. LaBrosse to teach in the new degree program. Further, LABENFA does not approve or provide any materials needed to teach any course in the new degree program.
