Re: looks like bill passed, CNA's to pass meds in FL

[CHnkns]

We have certified medication aides in Oklahoma! I have to agree most of them are great..and some just like some nurses are not!   In a message dated 3/8/2004 7:12:16 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, everone; Concerning the cna's passing meds:  we have 2 "geri-techs" who have been with us for years. The training course they took is no longer available. However, these 2 ladies are fantastic! They are right up to date on meds and side effects and I would trust them more than some of the other nurses I have worked with. The big problem is that the person going into the training is going to be the same person after the training.  If they are numbskulls before, they will be after. Our GT's work in our assisted living section and they are lifesavers as far as nursing staff is concerned. We don't have to worry about what's going on in that section unless it's an emergency, of course. Good luck--hope yours are as good as ours. June
