    Are nursing students allowed to give IV push meds?

    Thunderwolf replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Very good point. A facility can "choose to limit certain clinical practices" in their setting, but...."can not exceed" that state's standards. This accounts for some of the variability one may see...
