Wisconsin isn’t changing the training requirements for nursing assistants in the state.
The State Assembly yesterday didn’t have enough votes to overturn Governor Evers’ veto of a plan to chop 45 hours of training off the state’s requirements. State Rep. Jim Steineke said going from 120 hours of training to the 75 hours that the federal government requires could help solve the state’s nursing shortage.
Democrats, however, said the solution is higher pay for nurses and not less training.
