    EEN's working as PCA's sometimes

    smilenurse posted a topic in International

    Is there any EEN's working in Aged Care here? I was wondering what are your normal duties of the shift for EEN's? Do you work as PCA's (EEN's) sometimes with other PCA's? Is this normal practice for EEN's are required to work on the floor with other PCA's? if this practice not right and not by law who do I report this to?

    smilenurse replied to smilenurse's topic in International

    EEN's running the floor without RN's

    smilenurse replied to smilenurse's topic in International

    Due to shortage of RN's and even the Agency have shortage and can not provide RN's when you need them when RN calls in sick 30 minutes before handover. Then the EEN's have no choose but to run the floor, give the medications, insulins, injections, S8 etc. It is very difficult to find RN's that like Aged Care, some will tell you hats off for Aged Care, RN's love better working in Hospitals than Aged Care.
