Section 851-006-0180 - Definitions beginning with the letter "R"

(1)"Reactivation" means the process of re-issuing a license or certificate that has expired for 61 days or more provided that the applicant meets all other licensure renewal criteria.

(2)"Re-entry" means the process of re-issuing a license or certificate that has lapsed and the applicant does not meet the Board requirements for reactivation. For Nurse Practitioners, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Clinical Nurse Specialists this will require re-entry of their registered nurse (RN) license first prior to being allowed to begin the process of having the advanced practice license re-issued. An advanced practice license is predicated on first having an active RN license.

(3)"Reasoned Conclusion" means the RN's interpretation or judgment about a client's needs or risks through the application of scientific evidence, clinical experience, and nursing knowledge to comprehensive assessment data. Reasoned conclusions are also known as nursing diagnostic statements.

(4)"Reinstatement" means the process of re-issuing a license when the license or certificate has been subject to disciplinary sanction by the Board in the form of a voluntary surrender or revocation. The application for reinstatement will be considered no sooner than 3 years after surrender or revocation date.

(5)"Representative of the Board" means the Board staff member or Board designee who has been delegated by the authority of the Board to perform the necessary responsibilities as allowed by statute or rule.

(6)"Retired Nurse" means an honorary title given a nurse previously licensed in good standing in Oregon and does not authorize the nurse to practice nursing as defined in the practice act. The retired nurse must not provide health education, health counseling, develop a plan of care for or with the client, nor is the retired nurse authorized to perform interventions common to the practice of nursing.
