NA 027 - Nurse Delegation

Credits: 0.7
Students who earn this certificate can perform specific RN delegated tasks with additional training in community healthcare settings (e.g. Assisted Living, Adult Family Homes, Homecare, and Private care). Certified Home Care Aides (HCAs), Nursing Assistants-Certified (NA-Cs), and Nursing Assistants-Registered (NA-Rs) are required to take this course before accepting delegated tasks in these settings. Without the Nurse Delegation certificate, there are certain instances when a family member, a friend or licensed nurse must be present to administer the medications in these settings. This course meets Washington State DSHS/ADSA requirements for training in Nurse Delegation. The course grade is determined by a combination of the grade on the final exam, attendance for t hours of class, and completion of Delegation Workbook exercises. A grade of 80% is required to receive a passing grade for the course. Students completing this course will receive a Certificate of Completion.
