If a survey team determines at any time that a program is not complying with the board's standards for nursing education established in this chapter, the survey team shall file a report with the board identifying the alleged deficiencies and send a copy to the administrator of the nursing program and the administrator of the governing institution. Upon receipt of the survey team report and any written response from the program, the board shall schedule a meeting with program representatives to consider the alleged deficiencies and the board's recommendations.
If the board changes the program's approval status to probationary status, the board shall send written notice regarding the board's decision and the board's recommendations to the administrator of the governing institution and the administrator of the nursing education program. The board shall individually determine the period of time for probationary status in relation to the nature of the deficiencies, with no less than one year allowed for the correction of deficiencies.
At the expiration of the probationary period, if the program has failed to correct the deficiencies to the board's satisfaction and has not implemented the board's recommendations, the board may withdraw approval after a hearing in accordance with SDCL chapter 1-26. If the program corrects the deficiencies to the board's satisfaction and implements the board's recommendations, the board may restore the program's approval status. The board shall give the administrator of the nursing program and the administrator of the governing institution written notice of any change in approval status.
