26 Tex. Admin. Code § 554.1004 - Director of Nursing Services
The director of nursing services must serve only one facility in this capacity.
(1) If the
director of nursing services has other institutional responsibilities, a
qualified registered nurse must serve as an assistant so that there is the
equivalent of a full-time director of nursing services on duty.
(2) If a nursing facility, as a result of
waivered status, employs a licensed vocational nurse to supervise and direct
nursing services, the facility must have an agreement with a registered nurse
who must provide the vocational nurse at least four hours of consultation in
the facility per week. The registered nurse must not assume director of nursing
duties, but must act as a consultant to solve problems involving resident care,
conduct in-service training, and maintain proper clinical records.
