Minn. R. agency 159, ch. 6316, pt. 6316.0200
The board shall issue a public health nurse registration certificate to an applicant when the requirements have been met. The public health nurse registration certificate is valid only in conjunction with a current registration certificate for professional nursing.
The public health nurse registration certificate is in effect when the nurse has a license and is currently registered to practice professional nursing in Minnesota. If a license is revoked or the nurse allows the registration to expire, the public health nurse registration certificate becomes invalid.
If a nurse requests the replacement of a public health nurse registration certificate, the nurse shall explain in writing the reason for requesting a replacement. On written request of the nurse and the payment of a fee, a replacement public health nurse registration certificate may be issued. The replacement certificate shall be marked "Replacement." The board may require substantiation of a name change by requiring official documentation. A replacement certificate shall not be issued for a change of address.
