Purpose


The Agency is proposing to amend the rule governing certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and home health aides referred by Nurse Registries. Language is revised to add the Health and Safety Institute to the organizations by which an instructor can be approved to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and to include other training schools that provides CPR training in which the person is required to demonstrate, in person, that he or she is able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Currently, CNAs and home health aides must maintain a current CPR certification from an instructor that is approved to provide training by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross only.
