Our standardized, 120-hour medication course approved by the Maine State Board of Nursing provides the basis of understanding needed for CNAs to administer medications accurately and safely. The course is designed to teach experienced CNAs how to administer non-injectable medications to patients who are 14 years of age and older under the direct supervision of a licensed registered nurse in long term care facilities and state mental health facilities. Potential students must be currently licensed CNA’s, provide two letters of recommendation from Registered Nurses, and achieve a qualifying reading score on our placement testing.
