Nurse Delegation for Nursing Assistants
Nurse Delegation for Nursing Assistants is a self-study course that prepares a nursing assistant (registered or certified) to perform a task delegated by a registered nurse. The self study uses an instructional video and workbook. Once you have completed the self study, you must pass a written test.
A nursing assistant (registered or certified) must take this course before performing a nurse delegated task. There are strict training and professional requirements about what a nursing assistant must complete before performing a nurse delegated task.
Other caregivers that are not nursing assistants (registered or certified) can also take this course for Continuing Education credit. You will not be able to accept a delegated task until you meet all training and professional requirements.
Finding an Instructor or Class
Individual Provider’s caring for a DSHS client living in his or her home should call the local Area Agency on Aging to get registered to take this training. Find your local Area on Aging.
Caregivers working in a boarding home or adult family home need to find an instructor who teaches this class.
