Do state registered nurse aides have to receive in-service education?
Yes. Each nursing facility is required by regulation to provide 12 hours of in-service education per calendar year for each SRNA employee. This is a requirement that must be met by each nursing facility. SRNAs should be accountable for tracking their 12 hours of in-service. However, it is the responsibility of the nursing facility to be in compliance with the regulation. More information can be found on page 23 of the Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program (NATCEP) Manual, Reg. 907 KAR 1:450, from the Department of Medicaid Services.
