Section 71-17,126
Lapse of certificate; conditions; effect; restoration.

(1) A certificate issued under the Clinical Nurse Specialist Practice Act lapses if the certificate holder (a) does not have a current license to practice as a registered nurse or an advanced practice registered nurse or the authority to practice as a registered nurse in this state based on the Nurse Licensure Compact or has had either license or such authority to practice denied, refused renewal, suspended, or revoked or (b) renews his or her license to practice as a registered nurse or an advanced practice registered nurse but does not renew his or her clinical nurse specialist's certificate.

(2) When a certificate issued under the act lapses, the right of the person whose certificate has lapsed to represent himself or herself as a clinical nurse specialist and to practice the activities for which a certificate is required terminates. To restore the certificate to active status, the person shall meet the requirements for renewal which are in effect at the time that he or she wishes to restore the certificate and shall pay the renewal fee and the late fee established and collected as provided in section 71-162.
