I think that this would be the mistake of
a lifetime for nursing care. First of all, CNA’s are not trained to
monitor for side effects, etc of meds and treatments. I would hate to have my
license riding on one in a skilled setting.

IS THIS FOR ONE PARTICULAR STATE,
WHICH? No, I wouldn't want them passing meds in our NH, I think it is
just a gambit to have less licensed staff, save $$, etc. I think its bad
enough some of the things that happen in Assisted Livings with the relaxed
rules they have. Just my opinion.

pasing meds: what do you think?new bill?
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 nurse for
purpose of minimum nursing criteria.
Well, what is your opinion on this bill?
Would you want CNA's passing meds? in your NH
Let's talk about this bill?
Sincerely,
