Skip Maine state header navigation
If a CRMA makes an egregious error, is disciplined by the agency or consulting RN, makes the error again, (or perhaps even a more careless or egregious error), or perhaps even has their employment terminated, should the CRMA lose their certification? If the answer is yes, who do we contact about this? Is it DHHS or the Maine State Board of Nursing? Is it time for a registry for CRMA's? Where will these annotations be recorded?

So therefore, according to the MSBN we should not allow the CRMA's to give Coumadin, Plavix, or other such drugs that have severe side effects. WHEN DOES THIS END???
What this dialogue sounds like to me is that there are some of us who feel that it is ok to teach family members to administer these very dangerous drugs and even chemotherapy in the home after a Home Health RN has given them a brief and simple explanation, people who, for the most part, have no education whatsoever in medication administration, but the people who have the education and training cannot do the same in the person's home. I must also ask, where is it written in the MSBN practice act that they govern what CRMA's can and cannot do?
