Once a nurse's aide's name is on the registry it is never removed. The nurse's aide will be identified as active or lapsed. It will also identify whether there has been a negative finding against their certificate for resident abuse, resident neglect and/or misappropriation of resident property (stealing).
-
A finding of resident abuse or misappropriation of resident property can never be removed from the registry.
-
In the case of resident neglect, a nurse’s aide may petition to have the neglect finding removed if it was a singular occurrence and employment and personal history of the nurse’s aide does not reflect a pattern of abusive behavior or neglect. (You may contact the Department of Public Health Nurse Aide Registry regarding this process dph.nurseaide@ct.gov or (860) 509-7613 and press option #1.

If your certificate is flagged for resident abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property or Medicaid fraud on the Connecticut Nurse Aide Registry, your certification will not be renewed and you are prohibited from working in a licensed chronic convalescent nursing home.
