Well, I'm not in NYC, but in my state if they're working under the supervision of the doctor he can train them to do whatever he wants them to do. As long as it's in his office under his supervision,...

I gave one injection for a neighbor once, but I'm not comfortable with it either. On my job, staff people there expect the nurses to check their B/P's all the time. It's just like clinic day for...
