Helpful Tips

For distinct part (D/P) facilities, submit the application under the main facility and specify the request is for a D/P facility.

If the D/P Director of Nursing is different from the hospital, then submit a Director of Nursing (DON) application.
If the D/P requests to provide supplemental services, change of services (CHOS) application.
