[Cnaprogram] Application for CNA CMA Advisory Group

[Nancy Goodding]

Hello,

The Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) has approved the establishment of a designated advisory group to focus on issues relevant to certified nursing assistant (CNA) and certified medication aide (CMA) issues.   The group reviews a variety of issues pertinent to CNAs and CMAs and summarizes findings that may be presented to the Board.  Areas for consideration include adequacy of faculty, adequacy of clinical placement sites, authorized duties, curriculum content and examination pass rate trends.  The advisory group also provides input on areas for possible revision in the Division 61, 62, or 63 sections of Oregon Administrative Rule.

Currently, there is a vacancy in the CNA CMA advisory group and the Board seeks members from CNAs, CMAs, faculty in nursing assistant and/or medication aide educational programs, and organizations that offer clinical placements and/or CNA/CMA employment.

Meetings are held ad hoc.  Appointed members are expected to attend meetings regularly to keep the work moving forward.  These meetings are public and subject to public meeting law.  At least one month's notice will be provided prior to each meeting.  The meetings are held at the Board offices or a nearby location from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.  Attendance via phone with computer sharing of documents is available.  The commitment to work outside the meetings is not quantifiable although all members are expected to take on assignments, as needed, and report back to the group.  Term length is three years.

The charter for the CNA/CMA Advisory Group is found at the end of the attached application form.  If you are interested in appointment to the CNA/CMA Advisory Group, complete the application and return it to the Oregon State Board of Nursing.  Attach a current curriculum vitae (CV) or resume to this form.  Candidates may be interviewed by Board staff.  Confirmation of advisory group members will be made by the Board at a regularly scheduled Board meeting.

The application deadline is May 5, 2017.
