The scope of medical professionals that can be legally held liable for medical malpractice goes way beyond just doctors and nurses. One type of medical professional that may engage in negligent behavior is the certified nurse’s aid.
Certified nurse’s aids are only required to complete a very small amount of schooling before they are allowed to work directly with patients. Most of the training they receive is on the job and involves real patients. Despite the fact that certified nurse’s aids have significantly less responsibility than nurses, they are still capable of causing great harm to patients.

Negligent behavior certified nurse’s aids may engage in includes:
It is important to be aware during a hospital stay that nurses and doctors are not the only ones who can make negligent errors in patient care.
