I.V pushes

Published

Do any of you do I.V. pushes @ your job? Have you noticed differences in what different facilities allow you to push? ex. one place, lvns can push everything except narcs and a couple of other things I don't remember. Another place we can't even flush a line with heparin

I work in GA and the only things I can't do at my facility as a LPN is hang epidural meds, be charge nurse. Our Med/ Surg /Renal Transplant floor (RN's included) can't IVP cardiac meds. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to have all that experience.

In PA we can't push anything.. we also cannot titrate or hang blood or blood products, or chemo.

Ditto for Michigan. At least, that's what I've been told...I still have 6 months until pinning.
