Below are some important items to note prior to starting your HSE application:
NAB must receive an official transcript from your college/university verifying that you have obtained a bachelor's degree or higher. Transcripts can be emailed to hse@nabweb.org or mailed to the following address:
The National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards
Attn: Health Services Executive Transcript
1120 20th Street, NW Suite 750
Washington, DC 20036-7441
- All work experience must be verified prior to your application being sent to NAB's Credentialing Commission for final review for exam approval or grandfathering request review. A verification of work email will be sent directly upon entry of information. In order to expedite this process, please communicate that this will be sent and if they do not receive it, ask them to contact NAB at hse@nabweb.org to have the verification resent.
- NAB must have an official score report of previous exams taken (NHA, RCAL, or HCBS). If you took your exam prior to January 1, 2002, you will need to complete an official score transfer report to the "HSE-NAB" jurisdiction as your testing records are maintained in PSI's (NAB's official testing company) paper archives. In order to complete, please visit NAB's score transfer page.
