(hiding, knowing someone will be enraged by this) No. CNA's are not "nurses". They ASSIST the actual "nurse"... hence the title....."Certified Nursing ASSISTANT" keyword "assistant" (LPN/LVN)....Licensed Practical /Vocational NURSE, yes, that equal...
I think you are. The point is , that, the BON in each state decides that an RN is qualified to do this task. Rn's dont decide this, the facility doesnt decide this.The state government decides this. Why would you expect the same level of responsibil...
