The nursing assistant training program curriculum was developed by the Nursing Assistant Advisory Committee and approved by the

Arizona State Board of Nursing on January 27, 2006. The curriculum incorporates Article 8 Nursing Assistants rules implemented on

December 5, 2005, and meets the requirements of R4-19-802 (B) (1) through (B) (4) and R4-19-802 (C) (1) through (C) (14). Approved

training programs may use this curriculum as a template to develop/write individual program curriculums.
