Question about flouroscopy?

Friend of mine asked me the other day if a R.N. would lose her license if the state found she was operating a flouroscopy machine... I said yes am I right???...

Thanks for any input!

docs here usually step on the floor button to actually operate the machine

When I had mine (used it for the first part of an upper endoscopy) it was a radiologist who did it. Dont know about the law but that is what I saw.

I mean operating herself, without physician.... by herself..

Does anyone else know of this happening??

i don't know about the legality, though that probably varies from state-to-state and depends on how the state's nurse practice act reads.

however, i do know that it isn't all that uncommon for fluro to be done without a physician present when placing piccs in radiology departments. some places use a rt and an rn, but i think other places use two rns.

at any rate, your friend needs to check with the state bon, since that is the most reliable source of information.
