What happens when a nurse aide is referred to the Nurse Aide Registry for abuse, or neglect charges?
The Department of Aging and Disability Services conducts a review and will investigate any allegations. The nurse aide will have the opportunity to show compliance with the law through both informal and formal hearings. Those found guilty will no longer be employable by health care facilities regulated by DADS.
