Med Tech / Med Aides in california?

[spectrabrite]

Does anyone know the laws governing med techs or med aides in california? I have looked but cant find anything. I was recently hired as an LVN in an Assisted Living facility and oversee a staff of med techs and just want to know what is legal and what isnt.

In California just for the record CNA and MedTechs are different. As a CNA I was not suppose to give Meds in the facility setting. When I was hired as a MedTech I could only function under that certification/licensing not my CNA or my LVN when I got it. Ijs I never saw specific delegation of MedTech duties on any NCLEX teaching or testing. So with that being said the I would believe the OP can not just look at what CNA delegation is appropriate and go off of that. Also different types of facilities function very differently assisted is very different that skilled or hospitals ect.OP I am glad you found the ordinance for Cali. I'm sure it is helpful.[/quote']

Delegation rules are delegation rules. You stated it yourself, you had other licenses and could not operate that way, again, goes back to delegation. It doesn't matter what you do or who you are.
