Rule One - If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure as heck not picking anything up. Rule Two - You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at a...

I live in Illinois. No,as an LPN you can NOT hang TPN or do anything with a central line, picc line, etc. Unless you want to keep your license, you let an RN do it. Now, we can PRIME the TPN for the RN, to help her out, but absolutely we can not hang...

In IL, we can't hang IV's with more than 40 meq of KCL, IV pushes(other than flushes), TPN, blood, or anything thru a central line, PICC or port, no heparin drips. There's a few other things we can't do, but none of it's pertinent to my floor really.

Ya, calling in is a smart idea if ur feeling that horrible, except it could look bad on ur yearly evaluation(depending how ur facility deals with this).

i use a clipboard as well.
