. SB 492 / HB 189 - creates "Certified Geriatric Specialists".
Pilot study in two Gold Seal nursing homes that would allow C.N.A.'s to attain this specialist certification. After completing training, aides in those two facilities would be allowed to administer medications and treatments to residents, and would also be counted as licensed nurses for purposes of meeting minimum nursing staff criteria.
Most posts related to this proposed legislation have centered around the education and capabilities of the CNA, but what I am worried about is the part stating that these trained UNLICENSED aides would be counted as licensed nurses...what a way to deal with the nursing shortage... If the CNA is counted as a nurse, who would be delegating to whom???
