Bill Summary
Amending the act of June 9, 1997 (P.L.169, No.14), entitled "An act providing for Statewide nurse aide training programs relating to nursing facilities," providing for training for long-term care, for criteria for nurse aides and for limitation on department.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Nurse Aide Resident Abuse Prevention Training Act to provide additional requirements and guidelines related to training for long-term care, criteria for nurse aides, and limitations on the Department of Health. Specifically, it requires the Department to develop a long-term care curriculum for nurse aides, establish qualifications for instructors, and review and approve training program applications. It also sets criteria for nurse aides to become eligible to take the competency examination, including allowing nursing students and graduates to sit for the exam. Additionally, the bill limits the Department's ability to impose waiting periods on providers of state-approved nurse aide programs before offering any portion of the training online.
