About The Position
Administers daily medications to residents in assisted living, long-term care, and the skilled nursing unit. Monitors residents, reports changes in their condition, gathers samples, and records medication dosages and administration details. Medication administration must be delegated by an RN or by an LPN acting at the direction of an RN, and PRN medication may be administered only after an RN has completed the resident’s nursing assessment. The aide follows written or verbal medication-management instructions and helps the Charge Nurse supervise STNAs/Care Associates. The role is subject to defined restrictions. The aide may not administer Schedule II controlled substances, medications requiring dosage calculations, unapproved drugs, medications used in clinical research, or oxygen. The aide may not administer medication by injection, intravenous therapy, pill splitting to change a dose, or through jejunostomy, gastrostomy, nasogastric, or orogastric tubes. The aide may not receive, transcribe, or alter medication orders, or administer a resident’s initial dose of a medication. The aide supports resident safety by promptly reporting medication-related concerns and deviations to a nurse, observing and documenting changes in residents’ conditions, responding to emergency call signals, maintaining equipment, identifying and addressing safety hazards and emergencies, and relaying family or visitor concerns to the Charge Nurse. The role also requires compliance with training required under long-term-care rules. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED, at least one year of healthcare industry experience, and Medication Aide certification.
