Updated Nurse Aide Curriculum

In response to the newly mandated nurse aide training program content implemented by the New York State Department of Health, the State Education Department convened a group of health occupations educators to do a crosswalk between this new content and the State developed Nurse’s Assisting curriculum. Please note that there have been no changes in the hour requirements for the health occupations education programs. Two addendums have been developed to supplement the Health Occupations Core Curriculum and the Nurse’s Assisting Curriculum and are designed to be added into the current curriculum documents. Pages marked with page numbers followed by “A” go directly into the Core Curriculum or the Nurse’s Assisting Curriculum. Pages marked with page numbers followed by a “B” go into the Nurse’s Assisting Supplement labeled 9/90.
 The original three documents: HOE Core Curriculum, Nurse’s Assisting Curriculum and Nurse’s Assisting Supplement are available through the SED publications department at http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/pub/catalog.pdf or 518-474-3806.
