 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.
