<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#44546A">The Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) is accepting applications for membership on the CNA/CMA Advisory Group. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs), certified medication aides (CMAs), faculty in nursing assistant
and/or medication aide educational programs, and organizations that offer clinical placements and/or CNA/CMA employment are currently being sought to replace members whose terms expire in September 2018.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#44546A">The advisory group focuses on topics relevant to CNAs and CMAs and may make recommendations to the Board. Areas of 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 revisions of the Division 61, 62, or 63 sections of Oregon Administrative Rule.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#44546A">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. Future meeting dates are
found at <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/pages/meetings.aspx">http://www.oregon.gov/OSBN/pages/meetings.aspx</a> . 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
