Section 12 AAC 44.865 - Registry of certified nurse aides

(a) The board will maintain a registry of certified nurse aides. The information contained in the registry is available to the public upon request. Within 30 days after the board issues an individual a certification under 12 AAC 44.800 - 12 AAC 44.820, the board will place in the registry

(1) the individual's full name;

(2) information necessary to identify the individual; and

(3) the date the board issued the individual the certification.

(b) Except as provided in (c) of this section, the board will remove from the registry the name of an individual holding a nurse aide certification that has been lapsed for more than two years.

(c) Except as provided in (e) of this section, the board will retain in the registry information regarding a finding under AS 08.68.333 or AS 47.05.055 that a person has committed abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property in connection with employment as a nurse aide. At the request of the individual found to have committed abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property, the board will also retain in the registry a statement by that individual disputing the finding.

(d) An individual who wishes to have removed from the registry information regarding a finding that the individual has committed abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property in connection with employment as a nurse aide must apply in writing to the board, specifying grounds that meet the requirements for removal under AS 08.68.333(e). After consideration of the individual's request, the board will decide whether to remove the information regarding the finding from the registry. If the request for removal is denied, the individual may request a hearing under AS 44.62.330-44.62.630 (Administrative Procedure Act) to appeal the denial.

(e) The board will remove from the registry information regarding a finding that an individual has committed abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property in connection with employment as a nurse aide, if the board receives notice that the individual has died.
