I am a retired Critical Care RN and was recently hospitalized for 5 days in Northern VA. I had 3 IVs and all were started by CNAs. All 3 went bad within 24 hours. Worse yet was that 2 were in my the AC veins. I have never experienced that before. I cannot believe that an RN task like this is being relinquished to CNAs. I am certainly not impressed with their skill. Is this becoming a common practice? And has their scope of practice changed?
