i live in phoenix and i have a cna and a pct cert and now i am a caregiver/caremanager that passes meds at a assisted living. They are very trusting here because i have 52 regular residents and 35 dementia residents we have 1 rn works 9-5 2 lpns that work 9-5 and then we have us med techs 3 on days 3 on evening and 1 overnight but i am allowed to give all meds coumadan insulin, all narcotics, prns 1st doses of anything the only thing i cant do is picc lines but i can do all others now when i move to ohio in feb for nursing school i have to take a whole new 120 hr course and i can only do 1/3 of the stuff i do now its amazing depends on where you live what you can do the only problem is i can still make more as a cna in the hospital than i do passing meds and making sure people dont die what kind of crap is that?
