I read that an RN can not work as a CNA due to the fact that they know more and it would be hard for them to not work outside the bounds of a CNA which is against the CNA policy or something.
my guess is the CNA policy is that way to be sure that proper treatment is done by one who is trained is this correct? otherwise i dont understand
can an LPN work as a CNA? or what does it mean to work as a CNA, wouldnt someone who wants to higher a CNA be just as glad if an LPN or RN was willing to take the CNA pay and do CNA tasks? and they would then not be a "CNA" but could still do that if wanted?
Also i saw a video on giving a shower with a shower chair, in the video the person remaind in some sort of garment and the nurse still washed the person, im figuring the garment was just for the video, which i think is very appropriate, however just in case im wrong, the garment isnt usually warn right? i dont particularly want to see other people naked or to touch their private areas much...
also I'm working on "de-sensitizing" myself to things i dont feel well or like to see, i started to watch a knee surgery yesterday, however if im more likely to see wounds and such will watching this work for that, or do i need to watch more area specific things?
also i am wondering what a nurse can do in the community, what kind of service could a nurse provide, if the nurse isnt in the hospital and decides to have a little health clinic type thing, what could the nurse do for people? this relates to here in the US, like going to a place where people dont or cant afford to go to the doctors etc. could a nurse help them, with what, to what extent?
