Section 8:43I-2.10 - Extension of time for persons renewing certifications

(a) The Department may issue an extension of time for individuals seeking to renew their certification as a nurse aide.

The candidate must complete a fingerprint appointment prior to the expiration date of the current certificate. Extension requests are processed by the employer to the Department. Extension requests must be on facility stationery and contain the name of the employer, the name of the nurse aide, the nurse aide's social security number, current certification expiration date, and certification number.

(b) Extensions are valid for 120 days, and are deemed revoked if the nurse aide is disqualified from certification in accordance with this chapter.

(c) Each employer shall retain a copy of the extension authorization on file to prove current certification status of the nurse aide.
