Medication Technicians and risks, etc.

Today there are QMA and CMT training and jobs. There is some concern from nurses about the risks, and the limited amount of training. They do not like someone with a few weeks training doing a job they studied a long time to do. But, that is only one thing studied by them. And, there is such a shortage, and growing demand the nursing and healthcare field is going to change. There will be a need for people to do jobs with only a few weeks training. Doctors have assistants as their time cannot be spent doing things someone else could do with less training. Nurses will now have assistants, and nurses will have an expanded role in healthcare. They will only be able to meet that expanded role by guiding people under their licensure. More nurses will operate their own offices, and maybe some day nurses will be the primary care source - or referral source. At least, more things will be done by nurses working on their own rather than under a doctor, and have people working under their supervision. There is such a shortage of licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses this has to be.

Be glad you did not study computer programming 12 years ago. You would be out of work, and obsolete today! take care. take a bath too!:wink2:

I used to be a medication technician before i went to nursing school. Let me tell you, after nursing school i began to realize all of the mistakes i had made while working as a tech, BIG mistakes. And I had NO clue!!! There is little training, and you don't have the knowledge of how medications work to be able to safely administer them. I now think that having techs is a really really bad idea.
