Second Job "Etiquette"

Published

Hi all,

I am a Certified Medication Aide who has 2 jobs. I had a meeting at one of them today and wanted to offer suggestions on something that was practiced at my other job. Is this bad "etiquette" to talk about my other job at a meeting even if it is to offer a suggestion? I didn't do it because I wasn't sure. They do know that I work at the other job.

Sorry for misunderstanding your post and for taking the subject off course!

Wow, I have never heard of a medication aide. Where are you employed, a private office, hospital? What is the scope of practice, is it different from LPN?

I work in LTC. We pass meds, do eye drops, nose sprays, rectal and lady partsl suppositories, and certain patches. With advanced training we can feed through peg tubes, do fingersticks, breathing treatments, and inhalers/nebulizers.
