Reciprocity is a process by which a certified nurse aide from another state may qualify for certification in the state of Mississippi by virtue of his or her status in that other state. An individual is only eligible for reciprocity if he or she has been entered on a nurse aide registry in a state other than Mississippi in accordance with the training and competency evaluation requirements of OBRA '87, as amended, and if the individual is currently listed on that state's nurse aide registry as ACTIVE and in good standing.
