LPN Central / PICC Lines

[Rico84]

OK... I knew this would happen and I need advice.. So I just started my new position and I'm in the orientation phase, which is involving IV therapy training. I'm a LPN new grad and was in class today and the IV THERAPY RN NURSE came in and showed us how to put IVS in and change picc dressings. As she was finishing the picc lesson, she explained who can do what with piccs.. According to her, a LPN can hang IV NS or an antibiotic in this hospital per HOSPITAL POLICY. The OHIO board is beyond VAGUE and I want to know what to do!! I don't want to do something wrong, she also said I can flush a picc, but no draw backs and of coorifice no meds pushed.!! please someone help me wrap my head around this.. Is hospital policy legally practicing within scope? im so confused..
