Remove proposed regulation the requires providers to obtain professional reference for nurse aide applicants who have only worked for one employer. This requirement will limit the amount of potential qualified workers due to the inability to get responses from former employers. Personal references should continue to be allowed to gain more potential for qualified aides.
Requirement for the aides to attend 12 hours of yearly in-service training. Monthly hand outs and other mediums should continue to be sufficient enough.
