Healthcare Jobs in New Hampshire

Seven, and the rule that names them reaches every license or certificate issued by New Hampshire's Office of Professional Licensure and Certification. They are murder or manslaughter, robbery, felonious theft, felonious assault, a sexual crime involving a child, kidnapping, and endangering the welfare of a child or incompetent person, each of them unless a court of competent jurisdiction annulled the conviction. A separate clause covers conduct involving intentional deception, in employment or in private life, that shows the applicant can't be entrusted with the care of patients. While the criminal records check is outstanding an otherwise qualified applicant holds a restricted single-state license, which converts on a clean result and, on a disqualifying one, is suspended at once while the board opens a proceeding on whether to revoke it.

A renewing New Hampshire LNA picks one of 3 routes. Either affirm 200 hours of nursing assistant work in the 2 years before the application, or affirm 24 contact hours of continuing education over the same period, or show completion of a board-approved nursing assistant education program within those 2 years. The 200 hours may be paid or unpaid work, and they may be care given to a family member on 3 conditions, that licensed expertise is required for the care, that a nursing plan of care is implemented, and that a licensed nurse supervises it.

No agreement appears anywhere in New Hampshire's nurse practice act. Initial APRN licensure has 4 requirements and no physician among them: a current registered nurse license, a graduate degree from an accredited APRN education program or graduation before July 1, 2004 from a nationally accredited one, current certification by a board-recognized national certifying body in the specialty, and whatever other criteria the board sets. Prescribing comes with the license as plenary authority to possess, compound, prescribe, administer, dispense and distribute controlled and non-controlled drugs within the APRN's scope, and the board may deny, suspend or revoke that authority after notice and the opportunity for a hearing, on proof that it has been abused. Any expansion of the scope itself has to be adopted by legislation, which is a limit on the board as much as a license for a New Hampshire nurse practitioner job.
