I was just reading some bills that might be passed.
One is being proposed for 2004.
SB492/HB189 "Certified Geriatric Specialists" allowing CNA's to complete training then being able to administer meds and treatment to residents and would also be counted as licensed nurses for the purpose of minimum nursing criteria in NH's.
what is your opinion on this bill?
Would you want CNA's passing meds? in your NH?
Do nursing treatments?
Cna's how do you feel about this new propsed bill?

The biggest part of passing meds is assessing for theraputic effects and/or adverse effects... does this mean CNA's are now going to assess as well?
