Chapter 393-12 CHANGE OF STATUS
Any licensee who holds a current license and who is not
practicing as a nursing home administrator may request the Board to place that
license into an "inactive status" upon written application to the Board and
payment of a non-refundable inactive status application fee. See fee schedule.
The Board, in its sole discretion, may grant or deny the request for inactive
status. Any licensee whose license is on inactive status may not engage in the
practice of nursing home administration or serve as the administrator of record
of a nursing home.
In order to reactivate an inactive license, submit the
appropriate application, forms, and fee to the Board.
| (a) |
If a license is inactive for twelve
months or less, but not more than twenty four months, the applicant must submit
forty (40) hours of CE obtained since the Board's last renewal
period. |
| (b) |
If a license is
inactive for twenty four months, but not more than 36 months, eighty (80) hours
of CE obtained since the Board's last renewal period must be submitted to the
Board. |
| (c) |
If the license has been
inactive more than 36 months, the applicant must meet current requirements and
either submit eighty (80) hours of CE since the Board's last renewal period,
OR take and pass national exam. |
| (d) |
If the inactive licensee holds an active
license from the Georgia Board's approved state's list and has been employed
for one year as a Nursing Home Administrator prior to the date of the
application, then the applicant must submit an application, fee, and
verification of an active, current license from the state or jurisdiction in
which the license is held. |
