In short
- You may only do the job you were hired and qualified for. Your job description lists what you may and may not do.
- Home health aides and CNAs give personal care only as the RN supervisor assigns it in writing.
- Homemakers and companions never give hands-on personal care.
- Keep your CNA certificate, license and CPR card current. If one expires, you cannot work in that role until it is renewed.
- Tell the office at once if you cannot do a task you were assigned.
