 Virtual med pass Aspect

 The medication pass will last 30 to 60 minutes based on the students’ needs. If the student wishes, they may complete an actual med pass with a person supported With an agency  RN.  If not, they may complete a mock med pass. Whichever they choose, it will be observed via Facetime or Google Meet with an RN at the student’s facility.   OHI  can provide virtual med passes with the instructor with 7 days notice

If an RN at the students’ agency is used for the medication pass, the student must have the Medication Checklist completed and signed by the RN.  The student will also sign the form and return it along with a copy of the RN’s license to the RN instructor within 7 days of the class. The instructor will submit the information to the state.  If the paperwork is not received within this timeframe, the student will not pass their recertification.
