Pennsylvania SB114 amends the Nurse Aide Resident Abuse Prevention Training Act to establish long-term care training for nurse aides, set competency.

Pennsylvania SB114 amends the Nurse Aide Resident Abuse Prevention Training Act to introduce several changes. The Department of Health must develop and implement a long-term care curriculum for nurse aides, establish qualifications for training program instructors, and create a train-the-trainer model. Nurse aides must complete a State-approved curriculum, achieve a minimum score on a competency examination, and be supervised by a registered nurse with specific experience. The bill also allows for facility proctoring of competency evaluations under certain conditions.
