From the state of Maine:
- We will temporarily extend the requirement that “an individual must complete recertification within 30 days of certificate expiration”. If the certificate expired during the Governors declaration of the current Civil State of Emergency. The new timeframe will be extended to 60 days from the date the Governor lifts the Civil State of Emergency.
Course Description
Each participant will be required to complete a mock Medication Administration Pass (supervised by the RN – registered nurse) dealing with a variety of medication types – oral, sublingual, optic, rectal, etc. Participants are encouraged to prepare through self – study or attend our Review/Refresher course, as review of the material is expressly prohibited by State regulation.
The course will test the participant’s knowledge of the following
- Residents rights
- State/Federal regulations regarding storage/handling of medications
- Medical Terminology
- Best Practice
**RECERTIFICATION REQUIRED EVERY 2 YEARS
