Subpart 1.
Reregistration
application.
A licensee shall obtain a reregistration application from the
board. A licensee shall submit an application for reregistration and respond to
questions on the application that relate to the grounds for disciplinary action
listed in Minnesota Statutes, section
148.261.
The licensee shall submit true information. Falsification or omission of
information provides grounds for disciplinary action. The board may require
further information from the licensee to determine whether the licensee has
engaged in conduct warranting disciplinary action listed in Minnesota Statutes,
section
148.261.
The board shall return an application that is received without a fee or an
application that is incomplete.
Subp.
2.
Acceptable advanced nursing practice requirement.
A licensee shall submit proof of acceptable advanced nursing
practice that occurred within the five years immediately preceding receipt by
the board of the application for reregistration. Verification of acceptable
advanced nursing practice must be reported on a form provided by the board. If
the licensee was employed or contracted by an institution or agency, an
employer or contractor shall complete the verification. If the licensee was
employed by a patient, a patients family or significant other shall complete
the form. If the licensee volunteered, the volunteer supervisor shall complete
the form. If the employer is no longer in business, the party responsible for
providing employment verifications for that employer shall complete the
form.
Subp. 3.
Licensees residing outside Minnesota.
A licensee residing outside of Minnesota applying for
reregistration for the purpose of obtaining verification of current
registration status to another country or United States jurisdiction must have
an out-of-state address and must submit a verification of licensure request
from another jurisdiction. The verification of licensure request must be
submitted with the reregistration application. The fee for verification must be
separate from the fee for reregistration.
Subp. 4.
Disciplinary action.
Nothing in this part shall prevent the board from proceeding
with disciplinary action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section
148.261.
Grounds for the board to proceed with disciplinary action include:
A. practicing nursing without current
registration for more than two years;
B. repeated occurrences of practicing nursing
without current registration;
C.
knowingly practicing nursing without current registration; and
D. any other grounds provided under Minnesota
Statutes, section
148.261.
Subp. 5.
Nullification and
reapplication.
The board shall nullify an incomplete reregistration
application if the licensee fails to complete the application process within
one year after submission of the application. For a nullified application, the
reregistration shall be forfeited and the application and other documents may
be destroyed according to Minnesota Statutes, section
138.17,
subdivision 7. If a licensee fails to submit an application and fee within six
months after the board receives any other documents relating to the
application, the board may destroy the documents. If a licensee whose
application has been nullified wants to be reregistered, a new reregistration
application must be submitted and all applicable reregistration requirements
must be met.
Subp. 6.
Initial registration following reregistration.
The board shall authorize an individual to engage in the
practice of advanced practice nursing in Minnesota once the reregistration

role and population focus. The plan must include supervision during the
clinical component by a qualified practitioner. The applicant shall submit the
plan and the name of the qualified practitioner to the board. The plan must
include a minimum of 500 hours of clinical practicum.
