Re: CNA's pasing meds: what do you think?new bill?

[Michelle Witges]

There are some CNA's in my facility that I would trust before some of the LPN's.  I think CNA's would, with the right training, be an asset to the facility if they could pass meds and leave the nurses free to deal with nursing issues.

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 Do nursing treatments? Let's talk about this bill? Thanks.   . Sincerely, BestLittleNurse
