Specifically just that. I do not blindly follow it, I check all info and if something seems amiss I ask the nurse. As for not know all medications, the nurses do not either. I do know the antibiotics, heart, blood thinners, and the ones that in fact could kill if not checked properly. Just tired of hearing that I work under the LVN's license. So I am listening.

Hello everyone. Please I need info. I am a Certified Medication Aide and a CNA, I work in a Type B Al/Memory Care in Texas. I have been told now 3 times by an LVN that I work under her license. I have been RN delegated to do BS and insulin. I have my med aide certification, cna certification, certified EKG tech. I worked in a Trauma 2 hospital, drew blood, started foleys, took out IV's, drew cultures, checked BP, BS, ect. Point is I am very knowledgeable in most aspects of the nursing field. I know s/s of good/bad bs/vitals, I may not know what every drug is for but I follow the MAR exactly. I am just trying to figure out if I am working under my certification for meds and my DON license for insulin? Or am I working under the LVN license? I do follow policy and procedures well. So if you know the correct answer please post for me. I would greatly appreciate if.
