scope of practice for new grads

i provide clinical support to new graduates on three surgical wards. this fri we are meeting for formal reflection and discussion. i would like to structure the session around scope of practice - have the grads been asked to work outside of their scope of practice? have they caught themselves doing it without thinking? have they been in the middle of a task when they realised they didn't know what they were doing? how can they protect themselves from working outside of their scope of practice?

do any of you have a story about a time when you were asked to do something that you didn't feel comfortable or confident doing (ie outside of your scope of practice)? how did it make you feel? what did you do about it? what advice do you have for avoiding these situations?

by way of clarification, in the state i work we have a new 'decision making framework'. if we cannot answer yes to a series of questions in a flow chart (eg "is my education, experience and competence sufficient for me to undertake this activity safely?" or "am i permitted to undertake this activity under law and organisational policy?") then the activity is outside of our scope of practice and we must not undertake it. graduate rns are advised to make decisions about their work using this framework, and if they cannot answer yes to every question, they must tell somebody that they are unable to complete the task. that would mean a lot of things are outside of their scope of practice. in order to grow and learn, they must request supervision or further education before they complete the task.

thanks in advance for your stories!
