Medication Passes
CRMA classroom work is only a portion of the requirements needed to complete the entire course and become certified. Each student who successfully completes the 40 hour and 24 hour classroom curriculum, is required to complete a specific number of medication passes within a facility, supervised by an RN. Not all agencies/instructors offer or provide this service to their students. This portion of the training can become particularly difficult to obtain. Particularly if the student is not an employee of any specific facility at the time of training, and/or does not know where or who might be able to assist them.
We are pleased to say, that Healing Spirit Healthcare LLC offers this portion of the training both to their students, and to other participants from outside classes, who only wish to complete the medication pass portions of their training. If you would like more information on fees, or to schedule a medication pass, please contact our office. We would be glad to assist you in completing your final step of training towards your certification. Keep in mind, you only have 45 days from the last in-classroom day, to complete this part of your training. After that time, you are subject to repeating the entire class, should you decide you want to work as a CRMA.
**Important** To avoid delays in processing your request, please submit the registration fee with your application. This must be done as soon as possible. Once your application has been processed and approved, you will be contacted with a confirmation. At this time, you will be expected to make payment for the remaining fees. All payments are to be received in our office before the first class begins. If you are being sponsored by another agency or entity, and/or need to discuss further arrangements for payment, please notify our office so that prior approval can be determined in order to get you enrolled into the class on time.
Agencies – If the above schedule(s) do not meet the demand for your staff training needs, our instructors are more than happy to train within your facility. Please contact us directly, for more information and to see if you meet the student minimum requirements for this service.
