Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) who work as Med Techs or Qualified Medication Aides (MQA) are NOT exempt from Malpractice lawsuits. Medical Error is now the Third-Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.

What this video to learn more about SB 558 and what CNAs should know before becoming a QMA or Med Tech.

Senate Bill 558 creates a new designation of “qualified medication aide” (QMA) for certified nursing assistants (CNA) who work in a nursing home and meet specified licensure and training requirements. The bill allows a nursing home to authorize a registered nurse (RN) working in the nursing home to delegate medication administration to a QMA who is working under the direct supervision of the RN.
