Certified Nursing Assistant Workforce Improvement Act

The Certified Nursing Assistant Workforce Improvement Act mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise specific federal regulations within one year of the bill's enactment. This revision focuses on the training requirements for certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities. Specifically, the bill amends the experience requirement for registered nurses who provide general supervision for CNA training. It stipulates that these supervising registered nurses must possess a minimum of two years of nursing experience , explicitly stating that this experience does not need to be in the provision of long-term care facility services. This adjustment aims to modify the qualifications for CNA training supervisors.
