i work for a ddso that has approx 130 group homes. direct care aides pass all of the medications. in nys there is a bill being considered to repeal the exempt clause that allows this to happen. we will then need to hire about 720 nurses to cover 24hrs/day in each group home to pass meds. although i agree that only licensed personnel should be doing this it will be extremely difficult to hire all those nurses with the nursing shortage. i was wondering what happens at other omrdd/ddso group homes. i also would like your opinion on repealing the exempt clause.
