Ever develop a medication administration class?

[Larrythenurse]

Anyone ever develop a medication class for a day program? The program serves developmentally delayed folks who are medically stable and may have the occasional routine or PRN med to take during the day. The agency is state certified as providers but they have minimal licensing standards for medication administration due to low medical accuity. The staff have no medical brackground. Meds would only be in blister packs.

Their current written guidlines are barely intelligable. They have asked me to do a training for their staff and I've agreed if I can also write their policy. Now I'm trying to guestimate how many hours this might reasonably take. Training will be for about 30 staff and I'm alloted 4.5 hours.

Thanks!
