Board of Nursing Advances Nursing Assistant Skills Testing Integration

The Board of Nursing is progressing on integrating nursing assistant skills testing into training programs. Initially, the CR-101 filed on September 27, 2024, was withdrawn due to its limited scope. The Board issued a new CR-101 to implement skills testing in training programs, revise specialty curricula rule requirements, and update related rules to address additional topics. These changes are detailed in Chapter 246-841A-WAC. The CR-101 that details rulemaking has been filed as WSR 25-05-087.
