Renewals

Nurse Aide Findings Email Listserv Sign-up
Temporary Health Care Services Agencies not already receiving emails with up-to-date nurse aide findings should contact SRSHelpDesk@health.in.gov to be added to the email listserv. The email will contain certified nurse aides (CNA), qualified medication aides (QMA) and home health aides (HHA) who have had new findings for abuse, neglect, or misappropriation placed on the Indiana Aides Registry.
An abuse or misappropriation finding means that the aide is permanently prohibited from working as a CNA, QMA, or HHA.
A neglect finding means that the aide is prohibited from working as a CNA, QMA, or HHA for at least one year. The aide may then request to have his or her certification reinstated.
By signing up for the email listserv, you will be included on the most up-to-date findings placed on nurse aides potentially in contact with your agency. As always, you may check the registration status of an aide online at https://www.in.gov/pla/license/.
