| How Do I Renew My Home Health Aide License In Oklahoma |
Conquering the Paperwork Beast: Forms and Such
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) is your trusty sidekick in this. They've got a handy dandy form (cue dramatic music) called the Nurse Aide Renewal Application (ODH 717.301). This is your key to unlocking renewed licensureship! Bold the type of certification you're renewing (Home Health Aide, obviously), and fill out the rest with your best hero handwriting.
Pro Tip: Misplaced your form? Fear not! The OSDH website has a downloads section where you can snag a fresh copy [Oklahoma.gov].
The Continuing Education Quest: Keeping Your Skills Sharp
Remember that time you saved Mrs. Peabody from a rogue batch of overcooked oatmeal? Yeah, you gotta keep those skills sharp! To renew your license, you need to complete at least eight hours of continuing education units (CEUs) within the last twelve months (first year is CEU-free, lucky you!).
Thinking outside the box? Classroom and supervised training hours from a department-approved advanced training program can also count towards your CEUs, as long as it's at least 8 hours. Show those wrinkles who's boss!
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Mailing it In: Sending Off Your Application
Once you've assembled your renewal application and proof of those awesome CEUs, it's time to send it off to the OSDH. Make sure you include a check or money order (they don't accept Dogecoin...yet) payable to OSDH/Nurse Aide Registry. Don't forget the mailing address:
NAR-OSDHPO Box 268816Oklahoma City, OK 73126-8816
Feeling fancy? You can also submit your renewal electronically. Check the OSDH website for details [Oklahoma.gov].
