   Maggie - Read my entire post both original & recent. I CLEARLY pointed out that it's illegal AND why. I don't think I can be more clearer. Now, if you are speaking to the insecurity observation,...

    Maggie - While I totally understand where the OP is coming from, I gotta disagree with your post. Since when did it become *only* the CNA's duty to answer a call light? I don't care what kind of...
