help!! scope of practice ques. ASAP

by tonka3

i am an lpn in NC working in a endoscopy clinic and the dr. there has the lpns snare, close and "cut-cut" the colon polyps, per the speed of his voice, should the lpn actually be controlling the snare or the scope?

I agree with above poster about asking your state BON. I know in Florida, that's a no no for LPN's.
