Certified Nursing Assistant Workforce Improvement Act

Sponsored By: Representative Van Orden, Derrick [R-WI-3]

Introduced

Summary

Would require registered nurses who supervise certified nursing assistant training to have at least two years of nursing experience that may come from any nursing setting. The bill would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise 42 CFR 483.152(a)(5)(i) within one year to adopt that standard.

Show full summary
  • Certified nursing assistant trainees may be supervised by RNs whose two years of experience come from hospitals, home health, clinics, or other settings. This may increase the pool of available supervisors.
  • Registered nurses gain broader eligibility to serve as training supervisors because prior long-term care experience would not be required.
  • Nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities would need to ensure their RN supervisors meet the new two-year experience standard within one year.
  • The change is a regulatory adjustment to the Code of Federal Regulations that updates the supervisory qualification for nurse aide training.

New rules for nurse aide training supervisors

If enacted, registered nurses who supervise nurse aide training would need at least 2 years of nursing experience. The 2 years could come from any nursing setting, not just long-term care.
