NEWARK – The Board of Nursing has proposed new regulations regarding power of attorney, loans, and gifts.

The proposed new rules would prohibit nurses and certified homemaker-home health aides from having power of attorney over patients or clients and from accepting loans from patients or clients.  The proposed new rules would also require that, when a nurse or certified homemaker-home health aide receives a gift worth more than $50.00 from patients or clients, the nurse or certified homemaker-home health aide document receipt of the gift.

The proposed regulation, and information on how to submit a comment by April 23, 2022, can be viewed here
