I think I gave the wrong idea that I was "telling" the CNA what to do. I just meant that being in my 4th semester, out instructors have asked us to be sure and delegate some duties when and "only when" we need help. Sorry if I made this sound like I was telling the CNA's what to do. We can't do out job without good CNA's.
I had a situation with a CNA that has a real problem with working with student nurses. As students we have to learn that at times we have to prioritize and delegate some duties but how do I handle a CNA that doesn't want anything to do with student nurses?
