Lapsed or Inactive Registration
Nurses in a skilled nursing facility, assisted living center, or hospital are not allowed to delegate medication administration tasks to a medication aide whose registry status has lapsed or is inactive.
To reinstate or reactivate to an active status a medication aide must:
-
Print the Lapsed Registration Form.
-
Have a current or previous employer complete the Employment Verification page on the application to verify the employment of a minimum of 12 hours in the preceding 2 years.
-
Employment hours must be in the role of a medication aide in a skilled nursing facility, assisted living center, or hospital.
-
If an applicant does not have employment hours, the individual must retrain, retest, and apply for Initial Registration.
-
-
After review and approval of the application by the Board, the lapsed registry status will be updated to an active status.
Applicants will not be sent a registration card; cards may be printed from the Verification Site.
