Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine what duties are actually performed by auxiliary nursing personnel in small hospitals in Montana and to compare this list of duties with authoritative statements of the duties of auxiliary nursing personnel. The personnel were
classified as Practical Nurses and Nurse Aides on the basis of training and experience. The study was based on the results of a survey conducted by sending questionnaires to a random sample of auxiliary nursing personnel employed by small hospitals in Montana.
