Oregon allows CMA's (Certified Medication Aides) and has for many, many years.  The program works very well.  The CMA's in general are very focused because they are responsible only for the medication pass and take that responsibility very seriously.  Through the years I have worked with many exceptional CMA's in several different facilities.  If anyone is interested in reading the OARs under the Oregon State Board of Nursing, you will find the regs at:
