Re: Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP)
Do you have CINHL with full-text through Ebsco host? I entered unlicensed medical personnel AND administering medication and got 212125 full-text articles between 2002-2009. It is a great database for nursing stuff and if you do not have access, you can get access at most libraries. I know that I can access it from home with my library card.

Lots of good stuff this was just the first three articles. Good Luck! Now I should probably stop farting around and get back to work myself.
