What to know
This section covers who may care for residents. Missouri's nursing assistant training program (19 CSR 30-84.010) requires 75 hours of instruction, 100 hours of supervised on-the-job training at no more than 15 students per instructor, and a final exam passed at 80%. Enrollees must be employable, meaning not on the employee disqualification list and without disqualifying convictions; 16-year-olds may enroll through school health occupations programs. Instructors are RNs with nursing and long-term care experience and no current discipline. Failing students get two retakes within 90 days; a third failure means retaking the course. Some nursing students and aides from other state registries may challenge or transfer. CNAs keep active status by documenting a day of work every 24 months. Certified medication technicians complete 60 classroom and 8 clinical hours after six months as an active CNA. Under RSMo 192.2490 to 192.2500, the Department notifies people it intends to list, holds hearings in their home county, and allows one removal request a year; employers may not knowingly hire listed people. Providers must run criminal and list checks before resident contact, and knowingly hiring a disqualified person is a class A misdemeanor.
