NAC632.870. Withdrawal of approval.

     1. The Executive Director will send a written notice by certified mail to the administrative body and coordinator of an approved program for medication aides - certified if the Board intends to withdraw its approval of that program. The notice must specify the reasons for the withdrawal. The coordinator of the program or the administrative body may rebut the reasons for the withdrawal contained in the notice within 15 days after the date on which the notice was received. The Executive Director will send a written notice of the final determination of the Board to the administrative body and the coordinator of the program.

     2. The Board may withdraw its approval of an approved program for medication aides - certified if:

     (a) The program fails to comply with the requirements of any statute or regulation;

     (b) More than 20 percent of the trainees in the program fail the national medication aide - certified certification examination approved by the Board;

     (c) The program has not admitted any trainees within the immediately preceding 12 months; or

     (d) The Board finds three or more instances in which one or more trainees of the program have engaged in unsafe or abusive conduct during the medication administration evaluation test. For the purposes of conducting an investigation pursuant to NRS 632.310, three documented and substantiated incidents of unsafe or abusive conduct by trainees of an approved program for medication aides - certified during the competency evaluation test make out a prima facie case for the withdrawal of approval of an approved program for medication aides - certified.

     3. If the Board withdraws its approval, the administrator of the approved program for medication aides - certified must take such action as is necessary to retain safely the records of each trainee in the program and to ensure that the trainees complete training.
