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????
