Bill > LB982

This bill amends Nebraska law to provide for the employment of nurse aides in intellectual and developmental disability facilities. It defines a "nurse aide" as any person employed by a facility or service provider to aid a licensed nurse through the performance of non-specialized tasks related to the personal care and comfort of residents. The bill sets training requirements for nurse aides, including minimum hours of training and content, and allows nursing homes to conduct the training within the facility. It also prohibits certain individuals, such as those with revoked nursing licenses, from acting as nurse aides.
