HI!! I am new to this board, but not to dialysis. I have been working in hemodialysis for almost 10 years as an LPN. In the unit I work for the LPN is responsible for giving Zemplar, epo and the heparin boluses. But we are not allowed to hang antibiotcs or blood. We are also not allowed to push hypertonic or benadryl, this I do not understand, but each unit is different. When I first started working in dialysis I was not permitted to push anything, so I guess that is a step in the right direction.
