Subject: Update on rule filings related to CNAs
Hello-
We received notice yesterday that the Division 2, 62, and 63 rule changes approved by the Board at the November 2010 Board Meeting are now effective as they have been officially filed by the Secretary of State.  The changes include:
Division 2- Elimination of fee to register CNA 2 graduates.  In the future, CNA 2 training program instructors will submit the attached course summary form via e-mail to register CNA 2 program graduates.  Please follow the directions at the top of the form.  A hard copy of the course summary form with the fees will no longer need to be submitted to the Board office.
Division 62- Provides process for RNs, LPNs, and student nurses to obtain CNA 2.  These rules also provide for reactivation of CNA2.  The Nurse Practice Act on the Board's website will be updated by the end of next week to reflect these changes.  The application forms to accommodate these changes are under revision and will be found at http://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/forms.shtml by the end of next week.
Division 63- Eliminated the teaching and assignment of additional tasks to CNAs and establishes CNA 2 core authorized duties.  The Nurse Practice Act on the Board's website will be updated by the end of next week to reflect these changes.  Elaine Dinsel with Samaritan Health has created the attached skill checklist.  She is offering it to other CNA 2 Acute Care Training Programs if they don't want to "re-create the wheel".
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Debbie
