IV push medications - nursing students - page 2

I am in Australia. Students are allowed to give it once they have passed IV exams at university, which is usually in our last year (of 3 years). As with ALL MEDICATIONS (I mean ALL), students have to be supervised by an RN during administration and preparation.

We were allowed to do IV push during third thru fifth semesters only with an instructor, Not with an RN. I imagine we will be allowed to do them with our preceptor... But will not find out til semster starts in january.

When I was a student nurse I was able to push IV meds..it just depends

I believe it is state law here in PA.

We were allowed to give IVP medications under direct supervision, either from our instructor or from another RN. We were never to give IVP medications alone.
