Private duty nurses job description in the hospital

by Lerrylie, RN

Hello everyone! I would like to ask for your expertise regarding the job description of a private duty nurse working in the hospital.

Are they allowed to chart? Give Medications (IV and Oral)? and carrying out doctor's order? Hoping for your response as soon as possible... We are currently having a crisis regarding this matter in our hospital. I am currently working in the Angeles City, Philippines.

In addition to these questions, are those policies and SOPs regarding PDN are the same as other hospitals? or its up to the hospital management to provide their own policies regarding this matter? Please help... Thanks!
