An un-registered nurse

1. A registered nurse
2. An un-registered nurse

I know the 'un-registered' in the second example is a wrong word, but am looking for the opposite of 'register'. A nurse can be 'un- registered' for various reasons, such as failing continuous education, making a medication mistake, negligence, etc.
An analogy is validate vs. invalidate.
Thanks for teaching.
