I have heard this complaint from my nurses that they do not want to be baby sitters, however they are legally responsible for the care rendered under their liscense. Nurses and CENA's each have very important job responsibilities. I tried to have my nurses to moniter through a checklist but I made it too long. That did not work. I found that having the CENA's moniter themselves worked much better. Each day I assign two CENA's to moniter certain care issues and they are responsible to me to complete or they are held accountable. The CENA's help me come up with care issues and then they are part of the solution instead of the problem. I do stand behind my nurses and they are allowed to do write-ups. Susan
