(1) The applicant has either of the following:
(a) A license in another state.
(b) Satisfactory work experience of nine to twelve months as a licensed nursing home administrator and/or an administrator-in-training, a government certification, or a private certification as described in Chapter 4796. of the Revised Code as a nursing home administrator or a health services executive in a state that does not issue that license.
(2) The applicant is familiar with Ohio's laws and rules relative to the licensure of the facility and to the licensure of the administrator and has successfully passed the board's examination on Ohio laws and rules each time that re-licensure is required;
(3) The applicant completed a background check (BCI and FBI) with the results sent directly to the board office.
(4) The applicant completed a "Report of Conviction Form" (March 2020), if applicable, available from the board office or at www.beltss.ohio.gov.
