Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the certification of resident care assistants. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Chapter 111 of the General Laws to allow certain nurse aides or Resident Care Assistants hired during the COVID-19 public health emergency to forego the requirement of completing the state-approved Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) training program, provided they have either successfully completed an online asynchronous CNA training program and competency assessment, or completed a minimum of 80 hours of nurse aide or supervised practical nurse aide training, on-the-job training, or regular in-service nurse aide education during the COVID-19 emergency under the supervision of a licensed or registered nurse. These nurse aides would still be required to pass the state CNA certification exam to be deemed a certified nurse aide.
