Certified Nursing Assistant Workforce Improvement Act
This bill changes the training requirements for certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in nursing and skilled nursing facilities. It requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to revise federal regulations so that registered nurses supervising CNA training need only 2 years of general nursing experience - not specifically in long-term care facilities. This change directly affects nursing facilities that train CNAs and the registered nurses who supervise that training. The key provision broadens the pool of eligible supervisors by removing the prior requirement for long-term care experience, making it easier for facilities to meet training needs.
