-Care requirements have difrent componencts (say IVI's and bed baths) both important care requirments but the backgroud education required to perform them is significantly difrent
-RN's are performing tasks that NA's do on many wards.
-The performace of NA's in some fascets of care is better than RN's can provide (partialy beacuse of time factors, partialy other reasons)
questioniod (questions I cant answer beacuse im not entirely sure what the question actualy is...)
-Why cant we accept that the invisable task (NA's) are nurses in their own right? Not trained with 3 years academdic knowledge and advanced skills.
But,
for lack of a better definition than the above one, 'nurses nurse', 'provide nursing care', 'we are nursing'
Therefore nurses (not RNs or NAa, but 'Nurses') are still providing nursing care, those core nursing activities that we vaunt so very much....
So why are we worried about the transmition of tasks to NA's?
Tribalism maybe.....
dont flame me, I dont think I even belive the above points but I'm just tring to bounce ideas around in my own head and though outside assisstance might help resolve the question....
