Our facility, a twenty-two bed Critical Access Hospital, has hired two paramedics to work in-hospital. When asked what they can do, the DON said, "Everything, under the supervision of an RN". I am an RN.
I have not been able to find any verification of the Paramedic Scope of Practice in the hospital setting through the Kansas Board of Nursing or the Kansas EMS site. Where can I find their Scope of Practice? I am comfortable working with them. I am just wanting verification of what a Paramedic can/cannot do in the hospital setting. Our facility has two Paramedics working, but is still writing the policy.
