I am wondering if anyone could give me some information regarding training to become a Medication Aide. I am currently a certified Nursing Assistant in the state of Nebraska, however, would like to be able to do the required schooling to become a Medication Aide. I have searched on the internet and haven't been able to come up with anything. Does anyone have any ideas or information they could give to me?! Thanks so much!

Also, for those of you who remember, I was recently looking for a rental in the Tacoma area and I came here looking for some suggestions. I just thought I would update you and let you know that my husband and I have found a place in Puyallup. It is a little more expensive than I had wanted, but it's in a good area and a good school district. Thanks for all your help!

I know that many assisted living places have med aides. I'd suggest calling one, such as Willows in Puyallup, and asking if they have med aides and where they got their training. We had med aides at the Child Center in Portland, which is part of the Providence medical system, and I believe their training was in-house. Good Samaritan Hospital (MultiCare Health System or Good Samaritan Hospital - Puyallup, Washington) in Puyallup may also be a good resource.

I've never heard of a medication aide, but is it similar to a medical assistant or does it have something to do with pharmacology?

a med aide is a nurses aide (CNA usually) who has extra training and is legally able to pass out medications to patients. They're usually found in non-hospital settings.
