Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a nurse aide received the required minimum of 12 hours of continuing education within the annual period based on the aide's employment date. According to facility policy, nurse aides must complete at least 12 hours of in-service training annually, calculated from their hire date. Record review showed that one nurse aide, hired on 2/1/22, completed only 2.85 hours of continuing education during the period from 2/1/24 to 2/1/25. This was confirmed by the Facility Administrator, who acknowledged that the nurse aide did not meet the required training hours for the specified period.
