My first job

March 21 2009 at 4:16 PM
 

 

I've just landed my first CNA job in home health care. In my CNA class at the local community college (a very good 6 week class and 2 weekends of clinicals in a nursing home), I learned all the basics....bathing, bed baths, making an occupied bed, feeding a patient, etc.etc. But now....this first job is in home health care. And my responsibilities are all of these things PLUS lots of light housekeeping duties, cooking, laundry, etc. These things weren't part of my class and I don't feel trained for them. Is this part of my scope of practice or what? I'm confused.
