Relative to the training of certified nurses aides. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend Chapter 111 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require the Nurse Aide Certification Exam to be offered in languages other than English, such as Spanish and Chinese, for Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) who receive their training and work in nursing facilities where the resident population is predominantly non-English speaking. This change aims to ensure that non-English speaking individuals can become certified as nurse aides and work in these facilities.
