Welcome to the Temporary Nurse Agency (TNA) Annual Reporting Portal
Welcome to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Temporary Nurse Agency Annual Reporting Portal. This portal is designed to help TNAs comply with Chapter 111: Temporary Nurse Agency Registration Rule.
Why Annual Reporting is Important:
According to Chapter 111: Temporary Nurse Agency Registration Rule, all temporary nursing agencies operating in Maine are required to submit annual reports to ensure compliance with state law. These reports provide essential information about your operations, including staffing, licensure, and facility details, which helps DHHS monitor and regulate the activity of TNAs in Maine.

1. The number of total employees placed, the health care settings and facilities into which they were placed, the average duration of the placements, and the state of licensure for those employees;
