Our institution here in TMH has declared that a informed consent/ authorization was not needed when a PICC is placed by the RN's. We have been obtaining authorizations since the we started placing PICC over 25 years ago. Of all the institutions that do place PICC by nursing, what current practice does your institution follow. Thanks. fb
I recently have had a LPN inserting MVC within our IVT department. Organizational Policy is written per myself. Fl. state board of nursing as I interpret it, allows this. MVC are peripheral lines and is stated as such in the INS standards. Are there any other institutions following suite. Thanks. IVT-g
