Is it acceptable for RN's to use local anesthetic to start an IV or do you have to be certified in such?

Why should the bsn obtain higher salary if doing the same job?

I have worked in the OR for several years and the rules change from time to time. Studies have shown home laundered scrubs to be no more of a threat to wear than ones done at a laundry service. The appropriate cover coat must be considered when going to other departments in the hospital and booties removed before leaving the OR and new ones placed upon returning. A responsible OR nurse or scrub should know the difference and adhere to the rules.

I recently started a new job at a small hospital with a 3 bed OR. The personnel is great, very knowledgeable, great to help. The anesthesioligist on the other hand is a different story. He does know his job but he or any of the other CRNAs every interview the patient except for a brief minute or two prior going to the OR. It if left up to the OR nurses for the complete interview. I feel this is wrong. Please let me know if this is acceptable practice.
