Blended Learning Class: Medication Administration in Community Settings is a course designed to teach unlicensed staff how to administer medications safely and accurately. Students attending this course serve populations which may include people who have developmental disabilities, mobility impairments, mental illness, traumatic brain injury, chemical dependency, and elderly populations.
Our Medication Administration Course is always taught by a Registered Nurse. Our course is designed to give each student the information and attention that they need to confidently administer medications and accurately document their administration.
Some licensing types require an observed skill assessment. Each student will demonstrate the correct procedure for giving medications directly one-on-one with a registered nurse. Skills demonstrated will include the passing of oral medications, topical medications, eye drops, and ear drops. To register for the Medication Administration course with the observed skill assessment, please click here.
This course is not intended to compete with or replace the state-approved forty eight hour medication training course necessary to become a Trained Medication Aide.
According to the rules and regulations, unlicensed personnel must be appropriately trained to administer medications. This course has been designed to meet federal and state ICF/IID requirements.
