    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    You responded to my post, therefore I considered you to be responding to me. I have much more to say about what we were allowed to do with pushes, injections, drips etc., however I don't care to....

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    Welllll in that instance I wouldn't trust some student I hardly know to give my meds either. I'd hump their shoulder, personally, if I felt a student was "working under my license." However, at our...

    Kentucky or Ohio (or both) have some kind of tech that passes PO's once a nurse has checked and dispensed them. It might just be in LTC, but they have that

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    Then your students have no business giving medications. We got our own access to MAK and have computers in every room. For anyone to sit there and say no student should ever give meds without an RN in...

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    There's only one side of the story but you're gonna defend the other side that you know nothing about? I think it stinks that the woman didn't get to show her supervisor how she "appeared" at the...
