Scope of practice ? RN able to perform task ?

Would like consensus from fellow nurses whether they believe this falls under the scope of practice for RN in Florida without peri-op or RNFA program (additional certification).

Job entails the RN without direct supervision of a MD/PA/NP/DO in a office practice to perform the following:

application of injectable anesthetic under the skin, clean site, insert surgical trocar instrument subcutaneously parallel to skin, insert medication through trocar then remove instrument, maintain hemostasis, use of steri-strips/suture. Example procedure can be found Hormone Pellet Insertion Procedure | Trocarkit – Trocarkit.com.

Comments appreciated.

    Thank you for the information Medic/Nurse for your feedback.There is no specific protocol in place with education requirements and there has been a possible legal implication approaching the practice. I was investigating the circumstances to determine how we could protect the practice. Appreciate your feedback.
