Which states have medication aides?

Just got to Indiana and low and behold they have something I never knew existed, medication aides. Does anyone have a list of all the states that have medication aides? As a new travel nurse I'd like to know which other states have these, so I can take this into consideration when choosing my next travel assignment.:smackingf

I am in Texas, and our LTC facility utilizes medication aides.

IL does not.

  • Admin

Arkansas has "medication assistive persons" who are certified by the board to administer certain non-prescriptive drugs and legend drugs in designated facilities

If I am not mistaken, Ohio also uses medication aides. However, the state refers to them as 'medication techs'.

Maine and Rhode Island use med techs in LTC, and assisted living facilities.

some assisted living facilities in florida use CNA's that pass a med test.

they call them med techs.
