The data was analyzed and compared same individuals who also applied at the Fingerprint Board for a fingerprint clearance card. AzBN January 2015, Regular Board Meeting Minutes 10
Of the 40 who had applied for Fingerprint Clearance Cards 78% had received a Fingerprint Clearance Card even though denied by the Board of Nursing.
