Hello,
On April 19, 2012 the Board will be considering the following two policies for approval. The first policy relates to broadening the options for CPR training while maintaining standardization in nursing assistant level one training. Please review this policy found at http://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/pdfs/DraftPolicyNAlevel_oneCPRrequirements.pdf. The other policy found at http://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/pdfs/DraftPolicyCNA-CMAemp_req.pdf is related to clarifying the employment hours required for CNA renewal.  Your feedback is welcome and encouraged.  Thanks Debbie
