If your nurse aide's certification has been revoked then according to federal regulations, findings of abuse, neglect and misappropriation of resident property must remain on the registry permanently and your license can’t be reinstated. In the case of a finding of neglect only, a nurse aide may petition the state to remove the finding after the finding has been entered on the registry for one full year.
If you have not performed nursing or nursing related duties in a health care setting and completed 24 hours of in-service education during the twenty-four months since registration or renewal, your nurse aide registration has expired. To renew your registration, you must take the skills and written or oral examinations. To apply, call HHSC at 512-438-2050 or complete form NAR-5528 and submit it to HHSC for authorization to test.
