I do Agency work and yesterday while I was helping a CNA, she started to change the colostomy bag and ring. I asked her how long has she been a CMA, she's not. She said that the nurse taught her how to do it. I told her I dont think shes legally able to change colostomy bags because that is an open wound and we don't mess with open wounds.

One CNA from another facility was changing a colostomy bag and she said that CNA are allowed to change the bag or empty the bag but not the ring.

I've only been a CNA since last November, so less than a year. Are we allowed to touch colostomy bags? School did NOT teach me anything about colostomy bags, and if we were allowed to do it, I figured it would be part of our exam. Im in Oklahoma.

After the first house break in, you would think Nate would install some sort of alarm. It angers me that he isnt being smart. I mean he lost a body part, and now a second body part, all because of the lack of security alarm. That house is worth a whole Lotta money and you're telling me that there is not one alarm? No security cameras? Not even a gun to protect himself? Just runs away yelling no as if thats going to help?
