NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATORS -- Amends existing law to revise the time that a nursing home administrator-in-training shall serve under the direct supervision of a licensed nursing home administrator and to revise the frequency of reports.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Thepurposeofthislegislationistoreducethetrainingrequirementstobecomeanursinghomeadministrator. The new requirements of 1,000 hours as an Administrator in Training will take approximately 6 months to complete. This is a reduction from the current one-year requirement. This legislation will align Idaho with the national standards for nursing home administrators and allow those coming into the state to obtain a license without having to get additional training, therefore, making it easier to recruit qualified administrators to Idaho.
