C2 Initial Gastrostomy & Jejunostomy Tubes (nursing delegation required)

Successful completion of this in-person 4 hour initial course results in Certification 2 through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.

Official 2-page Application required. Email to Wendy@MyHolisticLifestyle.com.

This add-on course is taught by a certified RN Trainer in our Westerville, Ohio  location from 9 am to 1 pm. Students should bring a snack to eat on short break(s).

To earn a Category 2 certification, DSPs must have a current Category 1 certification.

With Medication Administration Certification Category 2 and nurse delegation, a DSP can administer medications via a stable and labeled gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube (G/J tube).

Nursing delegation is when a nurse delegates or assigns responsibility for performing a nursing task to a DSP. When doing so, the nurse teaches the DSP what to do and makes sure the DSP performs that task correctly (OAC 4723-13).

The required Category 1 certification must be current for the Category 2 certification to be valid (even if it is not expired).

All skills in this certification must be delegated by a nurse prior to performing with an individual. Email the completed official 2 page application to us and the signed (by RN) skill check for entry into the Ohio DODD Medication Administration Information System.
