1. Nurses and CNAs

   ellebee87 replied to missmaddie's topic in Professionalism

   I work with some fellow CNA's who do things like this quite often. They're deliberately rude to nurses, as well as fellow aides. One that works with me in memory care also refers to the nurse who comes to our unit when we need help as "Stupid" and "T...

   I totally agree. CNA's just don't have the education and the skills needed to safely pass meds, at least without lots and lots and lots of supervision.

   I do not know. I don't go back until tomorrow. I'm still terrified to, to be honest.

   Thank you. We have other residents who take complicated Warfarin regimens, so I am familiar with checking and double checking and triple checking each order, every single time. I really hope I can take this experience to heart, too. I hope I can tur...

   Thank you for the reassurance. I'm seeing on Facebook that at least one person has been fired over this and I feel terrible, but everyone here has really strengthened my conviction that I did the right thing.

   No, I do not have a license, but I do have a certification. I should have said certification. I'm also concerned about the RN license I will be applying for in six months when I graduate.

   Thank you for the reassurance. As a med tech I am allowed to pass medicines that the residents can self administer- just oral drugs, basically. Also insulin. Frankly I don't really think it's a good idea to allow CNA's to pass medicine because of sit...
