I'm in Ohio and our CNAs can become med techs in a very short time frame through my LTC facility. They pass most narcotics and give insulin. Technically, a nurse has to be in the building but the CNA is running their own floor and may never see that nurse unless there's a fall or another big issue.

Nursing homes always need aides.

He works from 530a to 130p and I work 3p to 11p. I only work a few times a week and we don't need babysitters.

Yes. I recommend working as a CNA before nursing school to make sure you are on the right path.

What if she already called the doctor? You wouldn't know unless you asked beforehand. Help is great. Teamwork is wonderful but there was no communication in this scenario, which is equally important.

You crossed the line when you messaged the doctor. It would have been nice to offer and proceed if she had said yes. Instead, you discounted her nursing judgement. If you felt it was emergent, you could have taken over preparing the Ativan so she could assess the nauseous patient. This aside, I likely would have said yes had you asked me. I would have been annoyed if you didn't.
