There are two NC Medication Aide courses \u2013 one should not be confused with the other. NC Medication Aide certification for working in skilled care nursing facilities requires a 24-hour course of instruction.

Medication Aides were approved to practice in skilled nursing facilities (SNF, also known as long-term care) in Senate Bill 622 in August 2005. The law became effective July 1, 2006, and the NC Division of Health Service Regulation (previously known as the State Division of Facility Services) rules for SNF became effective October 1, 2006.<\/p>\n\n
