NAC639.7435. Dispensing technician: Transferability, expiration and termination of registration; notice of change of address of employment; subsequent employment.

     1. The registration of a dispensing technician is nontransferable and limited to the dispensing practitioner to whom the dispensing technician is registered. The registration of a dispensing technician expires at the same time that the certificate of registration of the dispensing practitioner expires. If a dispensing practitioner and the dispensing technician registered to that practitioner leave the facility at which they are registered, and the dispensing technician continues his or her employment with that practitioner at a different site, the dispensing practitioner shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Board of the change of address of employment of the dispensing technician.

     2. If a dispensing technician no longer works as a dispensing technician for the dispensing practitioner to whom the dispensing technician is registered, the registration of the dispensing technician terminates. If that person is subsequently employed by another dispensing practitioner to work as a dispensing technician, the employing dispensing practitioner must, before the person may act as a dispensing technician for that practitioner:

     (a) Register the person with the Board, showing the site of employment and the name of the dispensing practitioner; and

     (b) Ensure that the person receives an additional 200 hours of training and experience provided by the dispensing practitioner. The additional training and experience must be provided in accordance with subsection 4 of NAC 639.7425. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 639.23277 and NAC 639.395, the dispensing practitioner shall not allow the person to be registered as a dispensing technician to enter the room or cabinet in which drugs are stored or perform any function described in subsection 4 or 5 of NAC 639.742 without the dispensing practitioner observing the act by the person to be registered as a dispensing technician until that person has completed the 200 additional hours of training and experience.
