SCOPE of practice ??

Published

I work for a Veterans Hospital, I am a NURSING ASSISTANT... my dilemma is.... i started working in a department where the Nursing assistants draw blood, and insert Foley's.... I have always understood that this was not something a NA does... I inquired about it but they said they teach NA's to do more in this department over any other. I also do Accuchecks. Im not sure if this is ok because im being trained and this is a VA hospital and its part of the US Government or what????

What the heck are Swann-Ganz catheters ?!?! :confused: :chair::uhoh21:

I r/s the CNA test because it landed on a day I have to do orientation for my new job. Should i talk to someone in the hospital about my concerns? It helps to hear what you all have to say but I just hope it doesnt vary state to state or anything like that especially once i get my CNA license which Im testing for sunday the 15th. I dont want to have the license taken away and then have issues trying to be a nurse.
