S.D. Admin. R. 44:74:02:31
A certified nurse aide may petition for a removal of a finding of neglect after one year beginning on the date on which the finding was placed on the certified nurse aide registry.
If the department determines the employment and personal history of the certified nurse aide does not reflect a pattern of abusive behavior or neglect and the neglect in the original finding was a singular occurrence, the department may remove the finding from the registry.
The department may deny the petition if the employment and personal history of the certified nurse aide reflects a pattern of abusive behavior or neglect and the neglect involved in the original finding was not a singular occurrence. The department shall follow the procedure as provided in § 44:74:02:29.
