That is true. Cnas are supposed to assist the nurses. It does not mean that the

cna is an indentured servant. Some nurses( not you personally) think they should

never have to answer a call light or reposition a patient. If the cna isn't busy with

a patient, then yes, they should do it. However, if the cna is busy it is up to the

nurse to handle it(unless they are busy doing patient care). Charting can wait for

a few minutes.
