Mood:    | Re: Are their any other LNA\'s out there I can talk w I have a feeling she's talking about Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs). Fletcher Allen Health Care, Licensed Nurse Assistant Training Course http://www.fahc.org/Human_Resources/lna_course.html "Course Description: The LNA (Licensed Nurse Assistant) Program is designed to prepare eligible candidates to practice as a nurse assistant in providing direct patient care. The course is approximately 100 hours divided over a period of four weeks. The knowledge and skills gained throughout the course will prepare the candidate to apply for licensure with the State Board of Nursing as a Licensed Nurse Assistant. What does an LNA do, exactly? Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, LNAs work directly with patients to assist them with moving, bathing, hair and skin care, oral hygiene, dressing, feeding, and toileting. They take vital signs, document measurements and observations, and perform routine specimen collection. Because of the amount of time they spend with their patients and the nature of the care they provide, LNAs play an extremely important role in making the patient's hospital stay as pleasant as possible." Sounds like a new name for Nursing Assistants, with the difference that they are licensed by the state.
