Nurses Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs Must do Background Checks

DADS-regulated facilities and agencies are required to check the Employee Misconduct Registry and Nurse Aide Registry before hiring an individual to determine if the person is listed in either registry as having committed an act of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation, or misconduct against a resident or consumer and is, therefore, unemployable. Currently, there are three methods available to perform these required searches:

calling DADS’ toll-free number at 1-800-452-3934;
searching DADS' Sanctions Database at http://www.dads.state.tx.us/providers/NF/credentialing/sanctions

using DADS' Employability Status Search
