RN's can set up BIPAP

Thank you so much for your insight. I felt like it was a "silly" question because to me, it's a no brainer for the reasons you pointed out in your post. There are Respiratory Nurses, you have home health nurses taking care of BIPAP, nurses manage vents in critical care settings, so obviously scope of practice is not the issue.

However, a Resp. Manager is retalliating for another situation he was busted in, and is the kind of person who just makes stuff up....like the statement he made regarding the board of nursing telling him nurses could not do this. I hate it when people do stuff like that, especially when it's verifiable.

I just was putting the question out there to find resources I can present to the Manager, but have actually found it to find anything really substantial to prove or disprove.

Thank you for your comments!
