Regarding HHA and PCA Training and In-Services in New York State: In addition to the initial training, HHAs and PCAs are required to participate in in-service education programs to enhance their knowledge and skills continuously. These in-service programs ensure that aides stay updated with the latest practices and regulations in home care. 6 clock hours for PCAs, and 12 clock hours for HHAs annually. What are “clock hours?” In-class, in-person training. No on-line training is counted in the State of New York by the NY State Department of Health or the New York State Education Department. Clock-hours requires the RN trainer to have the aides sign in (not electronically), with date, time, subject of in-service and RN signature. Both state agencies are clamping down on in-service matters, including the annual mandates, such as HIPAA, fire/safety/infection control, sexual harassment, etc. If OSHA, DOL or the state requires these to be performed annually, these can be counted as clock-hours. The RN has to sign off on all of this, so don’t get caught short when applying these mandatory standards. HHA/PCA training is also by clock-hours as well. Only during COVID did the state allow for virtual/online training, followed by skills competency in the classroom. New York State also does not allow on-line training either for either course. The agency and the nurse can lose their licenses. Recent on-site surveys have found many deficiencies in these areas, calling for the employee to be re-trained in the classroom. Repeat violators can lose their training approvals. Always finish the in-service with a competency quiz to assure their retained knowledge meets the content of the topic you are providing. This must be graded by the RN, counter-signed and saved in their personnel file. There is no online initial training allowed for PCAs and HHAs either.

Today I was asked what I love about my job and it is this Leadership First quote! Then it goes on in the post…“One must remember that the talents that make a person successful in a previous, non-leadership role are rarely the same ones that will make them excel as leaders.” Getting over this hurdle, this mental challenge, and committing to learning as you did previously, is the first step toward successful leadership. It’s essential.
