Who Needs to Get Nurse Delegated?

According to these rules, Nurse Delegation is required for:
Home Care Aides (HCAs) working in a residential care facility
Nursing Assistants (NACs/NARs) working in a residential care facility
Independent Providers (IPs) for a home-care agency caring for clients that qualify for the COPES program*
