I am a nursing assistant and at the nursing home where I work nurses are being mandated to work as cna's for RN pay. This has caused all heck to break loose. Many nurses are leaving because "I did not go to school to do aid work" This whole mess started after are building decided to go agency free. What are your thoughts on this;what are some answers. Why do nurses take offense to working as aids. Some nurses have been great about it and others are repulsed by the idea. WHY?

Now this is what I don't understand my employer(hospital) wont hire a RN for an aide position but they work our RNs as aides on a regular enough basis that they have a list to keep track of whos turn it is to be the aide.
