Dear All, I have taught nursing in two schools. In the last program students did not do IV push meds. It was strictly a liability issue. Students would think if they did one okay they were cleared to give all IV push meds. Faculty at the school I am teaching at now have mixed opinions. Most see it as a danger. the peds instructors want students to given IV push meds -- mostly b/c there isn't much else to do in that clinical. We don't even have a check off for this skill. What are other schools doing and what is your rationale for that decision? Has anyone had any horror stories with IV push meds and students? Zans
