Here’s a program that is training “advance practice” CNAs. They are now to be called “assistant nurse managers”.

[BEST PRACTICES: St. Peter Villa Rehabilitation and Nursing Center | PHI](http://phinational.org/consulting/resources/best-practices/st-peter-villa)

Tasks formerly performed by nurses will now be performed by CNAs. Some states have actually proposed expanding CNA practice formally, but since they will go through nursing boards, the changes will be resisted. But this won’t prevent hospitals from having some activities formerly performed by RNs now shifted to CNAs.
