Scope of Practice for LPN

[anononurse]

I have checked my state BON re: scope of practice for LPNs, and in general find things a little vague on certain subjects. I understand that an LPN can hang a pre-mixed IV med, but can an LPN w/IV certification mix the IV med as well? Some LPNs on our floor say they can, others won't do it. The BON site does not address this.

I live in oklahoma and work at a hospital and where i work the LPN's can push IV meds, start IV"s. We can't hang blood but we can verify and monitor the pt after the RN started the blood. We also can't DC PICC lines nor drop NG tubes(even though it's in our scope) but my hospital only allows RN's to do this.
