Failure to Obtain CNA Registry Verification Prior to Re-Hire
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) registry verification was obtained prior to the re-hire of one CNA. Record review showed that this CNA had an initial hire date of 10/22/2012, a termination date of 04/19/2018, and a re-hire date of 10/10/2018. The personnel file contained a CNA registry verification dated 10/22/2012, corresponding to the original hire, but there was no documented evidence that a new CNA registry verification was obtained at the time of re-hire. During an interview on 03/18/2026 at 11:50 a.m., the administrator confirmed that the facility did not have documentation showing that a CNA registry verification was completed prior to re-hiring this CNA as required. This deficiency was identified for 1 of 2 CNA personnel records reviewed, specifically for the CNA who had a break in employment and was subsequently re-hired without updated registry verification documentation in the personnel record.
