Thanks everyone,I find all your replies helpfull. Is it still being practiced when doing injections to pull the plunger to make sure the tip of needle is not inside a blood vessel(no backflow of blood) before pushing in the med solution? I noticed a lot of nurses not doing that anymore...I'm new in the US setting so maybe my knowledge is not applicable anymore here.
Are all RN's allowed to perform injections in the pediatrics age group or is there a specialty for it? Is there a law pertaining to this duties? Ive been working with the elderly population before but now I'm in home health and I don't know if I'm allowed to do so.
