employer? Some may question the necessity of keeping your personal information current. We assure you that having your personal information current is necessary for the Board to meet our responsibilities to all of you: issuing licenses/certifications and
renewals, mailing renewal reminders, responding to questions, and maintaining the nursing assistant registry and OSBN data base.
