TX HHS Form 5506-NAR. Texas Nurse Aide Registry Employment Verification

The TX HHS Form 5506-NAR, Texas Nurse Aide Registry Employment Verification, is a crucial document that helps verify the employment status of certified nurse aides (CNAs) in Texas. This form is typically completed by CNAs to demonstrate their ongoing employment and compliance with registry requirements.

This form requires applicants to provide personal information, including name, date of birth, social security number, and CNA certificate number. Additionally, it asks about the applicant's status on the Employee Misconduct Registry (EMR) and whether they have any criminal convictions listed in Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 250.006. The form also verifies that the applicant has completed the required 24 hours of in-service education and HHSC course in infection control and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

To complete this form, employers must sign and date it in front of a notary, verifying the employment information provided by the CNA. The form can be submitted to the Texas Nurse Aide Registry through the TULIP account, along with other required documents. Key points to note include:

• Employment verification is required for CNAs seeking recertification
• The form must be completed by the CNA and verified by the employer
• Submission of the form is necessary to verify CNA certification
