AI Summary
This bill revises the requirements for becoming a certified medication aide in Tennessee by allowing students in good standing enrolled in an approved nursing school to be eligible for certification, provided they have completed specific foundational nursing and pharmacology courses with a passing grade. It also clarifies that training programs must ensure students complete their coursework within a timeframe of 14 to 90 days, and that the evaluation of a program's success rate for its students passing a standardized knowledge and skill examination should consider those who pass within two attempts. Additionally, the bill allows the board to grant certification to individuals who are already certified as medication aides in other states, as long as those states have equally stringent requirements, and authorizes the board to create rules for this process.
