Is it wrong to put a CNA on an assignment that needs a hoyer lift and then not show the CNA how to use it because they've never used one?

Agree with Ruby. Did you tell the RN you didn't know how to use the hoyer lift? I would also assume that someone working in a place where hoyer lifts are used would know how to use one, or would have learned to use one during orientation.

They knew. And I don't think they cared.
