Here's a question for you. What are CNAs allowed to do when working as a PA and being paid through the State of IL? I have always been told that since the CNA is NOT working for an institution (ie nursing home, hospital) or for an agency (ie VNA, home health, etc) they are able to dispence meds, remove impactions, work with ventilators, etc. and NOT be jeopardizing their certification.
Does anyone have something in writing that addresses this issue? Or does anyone have a website addy that I can go to to get this information. Thank you!
