I am looking to review any policies from employers that allow LPNs to access PICC lines for blood draws to use for discussion in advancing our policies to allow LPNs to work at the top of their license.

This is state specific nursing function: What is your state Board of Nursing regulations regarding LPN's and IV vascular access as that will determine your policy? 

See PA LPN IV Regulations  and LPN Prohibited Acts
