Codes: Can we administer code meds without MD present?

Recently, was having a discussion with a friend who mentioned a code situation in which Epi was drawn up and administered without the MD being present (was en route to the NICU) or aware. At my facility, I've never been engaged in a code when the MD wasn't either present or on the phone having contact with the nurses, and so I was wondering if someone could please clarify for me whether or not we are allowed to administer code drugs without the MD "ordering" them. I realize we are responsible for knowing dosages, protocol, etc. Any takers?

Thanks! :)
