I think so -breath (alcohol) analyzer testing.

My company is sending me to a 2-day class where I can learn to do this -also taking the Train the Trainer portion of the class.

I will be educating our entire healthcare system-directly and indirectly .

If you are talking about alcohol breatholizer testing, yes, I have done it as a nurse. It is a simple certification process and simple testing. I did it as an employee health nurse and we did random drug and alcohol testing for DOT requirements where I worked.

If you are talking about pulmonary function testing, that is another thing altogether. I have also done that as an industrial nurse.
