NG tube placement

[DolphinRN84]

I was just wondering how many nurses here have had the opportunity to place an NG tube on a patient? At my hospital, usually the interns/residents insert NG tubes. I did ask my manager awhile back that if nurses were allowed to insert NG tubes at this facility and she stated that yes, it was within our scope of practice but that we were definitely not obligated to. So...I was just wondering..how many have placed NG tubes? Thanks! :)

ETA: Sorry forgot to mention that I do work at a teaching hospital, so haven't had the opportunity to place an NG tube but we can start IV's even though we have an IV team. Need to clarify again that this is not the norm on my floor being vascular and all...mentioned that in another post here...
