2006 Nebraska Revised Statutes - § 71-133 — Examinations; oral or practical; how conducted.

Section 71-133
Examinations; oral or practical; how conducted.

(1) The oral or practical work portion of any examination for licensure or certification under the Uniform Licensing Law shall be given by a majority of the members of the appropriate professional board except in dentistry. The oral examination questions shall be limited to the practice of the profession. The members of the board need not be present at the examination given to applicants when a national examination or any other written examination is utilized. Such board may delegate the administration of such examination to the department. The department may designate an organization to administer a national or written examination.

(2) In dentistry, the final practical examination in clinical dentistry may be given at each of the dental colleges, schools, or departments legally conducted in the State of Nebraska. The Central Regional Dental Testing Service practical examination or any other regional or state practical examination that the Board of Dentistry determines to be comparable to the Central Regional Dental Testing Service practical examination may be used to meet the requirement of a final practical examination for dentists and for dental hygienists. Any person who applies for a license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene who has failed on one occasion to pass the oral examination administered by the board shall be required to subsequently take and pass the practical examination before the department shall consider the applicant's qualifications for a license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in the State of Nebraska. Any person who applies for a license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene who has failed on two occasions to pass any part of the examination shall be required to complete a course in clinical dentistry approved by the board before the department shall consider the results of a third examination as a valid qualification for a license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene in the State of Nebraska.
