This course meets Virginia requirements for necessary training of a non-licensed person to administer medications in an assisted living facility according to the Code of Virginia §54.1-3408. Our state certified trainers offer a 68-hour course comprised of 48-hours of classroom/lecture, 20-hours of supervised skills session and a final written exam. We follow the approved Virginia Board of Nursing curriculum in Medication Management. Our approved program number is 0030000052.

Medication Management 48-hour Days 1-6:

During the classroom/lecture portion of the course students will learn, through both didactic and practical demonstration, proper medication administration and record keeping. The "hands on" practice assignments prepare students for real world application. Our workbook also provides helpful detail, illustrations, and practice examples for each of the task areas.

Attendance at days 1-6 is required before a student may attend the practicum section of the course.

Medication Management 20-hour Supervised Skills Session (practicum): The supervised skills session or practicum section of the course will be completed at Imperial Plaza Assisted Living Facility under the direction of Angela Sims, LPN. The practicum section of the course is limited to 5 students at a time. Students will spend 20 hours (over the course of several days) practicing skills taught during the classroom/lecture portion of the course. The skills competency for the demonstration tasks will be completed during this training and a pass/fail status will be granted by Angela Sims, LPN.

Final Written Exam (By Appointment): After successful completion of the supervised skills section, the participant will then schedule an appointment with Richmond Apothecaries to take a written final exam. Students who do not pass all areas may schedule make up skills demonstrations for focused task areas up to three times. Those who do not pass on their fourth attempt will be required to repeat the entire 68-hour course.

Upon successful completion of both sections of the course (classroom and practical) the student will be issued a certificate of completion from our program. With this certificate, the student can submit an application to the Virginia Board of Nursing to register for the computerized state competency exam. Students must pass with test with 80% accuracy and pay the required fees to be registered as a medication aide through the Virginia Board of Nursing.
