Nebraska LB42 amends the state's statutes to set specific training requirements for nurse aides in intellectual and developmental disability facilities. The bill mandates that nurse aides complete a basic training course approved by the Department of Health and Human Services within 120 days of employment. For nurse aides at intermediate care facilities, the training must be at least 20 hours, including 15 hours of basic personal care and 5 hours of basic therapeutic and emergency procedures. For other nursing homes, the training must be at least 75 hours.
