MHCA understands the complexities regarding the staffing crisis in your home. Unfortunately, the Division of Licensing and Certification cannot give permission for a person trained using the AHCA Temporary Nurse Aide program to be deemed a ‘Certified Nurse’s Aide.’ This term is reserved for those individuals who have met the requirements to be placed on the CNA registry and deemed ‘certified’. Under Maine State Regulations Chapter 110, subsection 8.C.3.a. facilities can employ non-nursing personnel during times when staffing patterns, training qualifications and job descriptions reflect a need of such a person and all other staffing options have been exhausted. That time is now! This program will review the free AHCA temporary nurse aide program, provide a template policy, implementation guide and review the necessary steps to stay compliant utilizing this option.
