Universal Citation: 12 AK Admin Code 44.830

Current through February 24, 2025

(a) An applicant seeking to establish a certified nursing aide training program must submit, at least 90 days before the date training is expected to begin,

(1) a completed application on a form provided by the department;

(2) any fee established in 12 AAC 02.282;

(3) a copy of the curriculum and other instructional materials; and

(4) a description of the classroom and clinical facilities.

(b) The application must include

(1) a summary of the rationale, philosophy, and purpose of the program;

(2) qualifications of the faculty;

(3) an outline of the program, including the program's title, objectives, content, and teaching methodology, and the number of classroom and clinical instruction hours;

(4) a copy of the nurse aide skills checklist to be used to measure student clinical skills as required in 12 AAC 44.852;

(5) program location;

(6) the name and resume of each classroom instructor;

(7) a schedule of classroom and clinical instruction hours that includes supervised skill and clinical training hours; and

(8) a copy of the final examination.

(c) Within 90 days after receipt of the application the board will advise the applicant whether additional information is needed to complete the application. Once an application is complete, if the program meets the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835 - 12 AAC 44.847 and 12 AAC 44.852, the board will provisionally approve the program. A program that has received provisional approval is authorized to conduct training until the board's final decision on the application for approval.

(d) A registered nurse that is either a member of the board or board staff will conduct an on-site review of the training facilities and personnel of a provisionally approved program during the first training offered by that program. After the on-site review the board will notify the program provider whether the board has determined that

(1) deficiencies in the provisionally approved program exist because of noncompliance with 12 AAC 44.835 - 12 AAC 44.847 and 12 AAC 44.852; and

(2) a follow-up on-site visit is necessary to ensure that the program provider corrects those deficiencies.

(e) If the board determines deficiencies exist under (d)(1) of this section, the program provider shall correct those deficiencies and notify the board when the deficiencies have been corrected. After any follow-up on-site review that the board requires under (d)(2) of this section, if the board determines that those deficiencies have not been corrected, the board will deny approval of the program.

(f) A program provider whose application has been denied may request a hearing under AS 44.62.330-44.62.630 (Administrative Procedure Act) to appeal the denial of training program approval.
