WAC 246-840-930 and WAC 246-841-405, Amending specific training requirements for Nursing Assistant Registered (NARs) and Home Care Aides (HCAs). These rules continue the initial emergency rules filed March 14, 2022. The Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission (commission) is refiling these emergency rules to allow a registered nurse delegator to delegate nursing tasks to a NAR or HCA without verifying the NAR or HCA has completed basic caregiver training in accordance with WAC 246-840-930(8)(b). To align with the corresponding NAR rule, the commission is adopting emergency language in WAC 246-841-405(2)(a) to remove the requirement that a NAR must show proof of completion of the basic caregiver training before performing any delegated nursing task. Filed as WSR# 22-15-020
