(ii) The director shall promptly notify the nurse in writing of a suspension under Subsection (3)(a)(i). (b) (i) Subject to Subsection (7), if the division and the majority of the board find reasonable cause to believe a nurse who is not determined judicially to be an incapacitated person or to have a mental illness, is incapable of practicing nursing with reasonable skill regarding the safety of patients, because of illness, excessive use of drugs or alcohol, or as a result of any mental or physical condition, the board shall recommend that the director file a petition with the division, and cause the petition to be served upon the nurse with a notice of hearing on the sole issue of the capacity of the nurse to competently, safely engage in the practice of nursing.

(5) (a) A nurse whose license is suspended under Subsection (3) or (4)(c) has the right to a hearing to appeal the suspension within 10 days after the license is suspended. (b) The hearing held under this Subsection (5) shall be conducted in accordance with Sections 58-1-108 and 58-1-109 for the sole purpose of determining if sufficient basis exists for the continuance of the order of suspension in order to prevent harm to the nurse's patients or the general public. (6) A nurse whose license is revoked, suspended, or in any way restricted under this section may request the division and the board to consider, at reasonable intervals, evidence presented by the nurse, under procedures established by division rule, regarding any change in the nurse's condition, to determine whether: (a) the nurse is or is not able to safely and competently engage in the practice of nursing; and (b) the nurse is qualified to have the nurse's license to practice under this chapter restored completely or in part.
