"[This book] is an important reference for nurses seeking to take the certification exam to validate their own practice. The practice of nursing over the next decades will demand age-specific knowledge for people across the life span. Nurses need to develop expertise in the area of geriatrics and have that expertise validated through certification."

Board of Nursing looks for way to get new positions certified
17.10.48
MEDICAL ASSISTANTS
Board of Nursing looks for way to get new positions certifiedTHE ISSUE Certified medical assistants are relatively new in Idaho and the country. They are people who are permitted — after training — to administer medications, typically in nursing homes to patients who take many daily medications. The dispensing is done under the supervision of a registered nurse. Training lasts about six weeks. Lewis-Clark State College is now the only place in Idaho that provides the training.
WHAT’S PROPOSED Rules require that medical assistants pass a certification exam before going to work in the field. But the State Board of Nursing says that the low number of people taking the exams means they may not be a reliable assessment tool. The Board of Nursing is proposing an alternative form of assessment in which candidates would work in the field for 80 hours under the supervision of a nurse who would attest to their ability to meet the requirements. If a candidate is successful, a certificate would be issued.
