Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum of 12 hours of annual training for nurse aides, as mandated by regulations. Review of the job description and facility documents confirmed that nurse aides are expected to attend all assigned in-service classes. However, documentation for four direct care nurse aides did not show evidence of completing the required annual training hours. During staff interviews, the Chief Nursing Officer confirmed that these nurse aides did not receive the mandated training for the calendar year reviewed.
