  1. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    AnneN posted a topic in General Students
    Is it possible (legal) for a student nurse to administer medication without supervision of the preceptor nurse or the clinical instructor? I know it happens all the time, and often if the student makes a mistake, she is severely penalized. I am wondering whether it is possible for the hospital, preceptor nurse or clinical instructor to allow the student nurse to administer medication without providing supervision through every step of the way. I was told by someone that it is illegal (against Nurse Practice Act in most states) for a student to administer medication even if it is P.O., and that an RN must be with the student through every step of the process. Is this true? Is this law different from state to state? Or is this pretty much the same in all states?
