Nurse Delegation Diabetes

Welcome to Nurse Delegation for Nursing Assistants: Special Focus on Diabetes.

In spring of 2008, a law was passed by the Washington State legislature allowing nursing assistants to perform insulin injections as a nurse delegated task.

Because of this law and nursing assistants like you, DSHS clients with diabetes now have the choice and freedom to live at home or in a residential care facility when insulin injections are needed.
