DMAS Regulatory Proposed Changes
 

Please remove the proposed regulation that requires that nurse aides to physicall attend annually a minimum of 12 hours of agency training.  These aides are already struggling financially to meet financial obligations. Requiring them to physically attend training comprimises their ability to pay for gas, or if its outside of working hours possibly pay for child care.

In addition, the inservices we provide is very informative, it motivates them to read regulary and learn about the field their in and situations the inservices provide.
