Sounds like a big problem I would take that to HR but if you work in assisted living or facility like that then you have every right to call the states ombudsman and file a complaint and yes they will keep your name confidential

Depends on what’s going on with the patient? If you have basic cpr or BLS certification and you feel the patient is in need of emergency care asap then why wouldn’t you call for an ambulance? If the patients life is threatened that should always come first (after your own safety of course). Otherwise I’d say as high up the chain as you can to report the nurse or CMA even if you have to complain to your state health department

Is the nurse expected to provide emergency services?

If she is supposed to be called to help, are you calling her ? I’m so confused.

It may or may not be worth reporting to the appropriate licensing or certification board, as it is not within a CMA’s scope to judge if a patient needs emergency care, and an RN or LVN who has not personally assessed a patient should not be making judgement calls about that patient, so if it was a nurse and not a cma I think the context is important. But if you feel it was a dangerous thing to tell the patient and the company is not responding this is something you can report to the state.

And if a patient is under a 3rd party care, like hospice or pace, they have restrictions on calling for ems services. They typically have a 24/7 on call system and someone will come out to see the patient and go from there.

Also, as a CMA we have to report to the shift nurse. It’s not in our scope to deem if someone needs to be sent out.

Your question doesn’t make any sense. I hope to God you’re not a nurse.
