Ok i work in a CBRF facility and there is an aide that has been abusing a resident for the last 2 months. I had told the DON and my boss when it started happening and nothing has been done to the aide she is still working there. Is there anything that i can do outside of the facility to report this aide before she does more harm to someone else???

I don't think it is a bad idea. I'm a CNA going to school for nursing and I work in a CBRF facility and I pass meds out everyday that I'm at work. Most places require you to take a class on med passing. Then you have the option of taking a state license test depending on the facility you are working in. In my opinion at my facility the nurse would be over worked with passing out meds due to we have over 1000 residents in our facility and thats all they would be doing all day. We of course don't do injections that is the nurses responsibility unless you are in school for nursing and a nurse is there while you are doing the injection. I guess it all depends on the training on what you are doing. I can understand that if someone has no clue what they are doing or giving then yes I would have to say no they shouldn't.:monkeydance:
