Hi
In Illinois the new state law requires RNs to flush or change dressing, we can not touch it. That changed this year,LPN used to be able if IV certified. I helped our DON remove one yesterday, but I couldn't do anything else with it. I think it depends on the state, just make sure that it is in your scope, because you will be in trouble if you cann't, not the facility.

I need help. Does anybody know if LVNs are allowed to flush and care for PICC lines in the Long Term Care setting?
