An applicant for a temporary permit prior to licensure as a nurse anesthetist shall apply on the form prescribed by the board and shall submit written evidence that the applicant is a registered nurse currently licensed in South Dakota and is a bona fide candidate to write the required examination or is awaiting the results of the first examination for which the applicant is eligible after graduation from an approved program of nurse anesthesia or that the applicant is a licensed registered nurse anesthetist from another state or territory of the United States awaiting license by endorsement and holds a temporary permit as a registered nurse applicant. The application shall be accompanied by the fee provided in chapter 20:48:06. If the applicant is certified in another state or territory, the temporary permit shall be issued for not more than 90 days. If the applicant is awaiting the results of the first examination for which the applicant is eligible, the temporary permit is valid until receipt of notification from the board concerning the status of the application for licensure. If the holder of a temporary permit is notified by the board that licensure has been denied, the temporary permit becomes invalid on the date the notice is received by the holder. The holder shall immediately return the permit to the board.
Each applicant for a temporary permit must submit a set of fingerprints on a standard card provided by the board for the purpose of obtaining a state and federal criminal background check through the Division of Criminal Investigation. An authorization and release form must be signed by the applicant authorizing the release of the criminal history record to the board. The fingerprint card, authorization and release form, and fee for the criminal background check must accompany the application for a temporary permit. A permanent license may not be issued until the criminal background check is complete.
