supra pubic caths

[jaa631]

is a r.n. who is in home health allowed to train a lpn at a different facility how to insert a supra pubic catheter

Inserting a suprapubic catheter should be the same procedure as a foley, just a different hole. The answer to your question depends on the facility's protocol.

[downsouthlaff, LPN]

Just depends on the state. In my state in some settings we as LPNs are permitted change /reinsert suprapubic catheters.

[Penelope_Pitstop, BSN, RN]

The LPN should probably be receiving this education from his/her nurse educator, not a home health RN who works for a different organization. That way the LPN would be following his/her organizational protocols. If nothing else, the nurse educator or supervisor who is responsible for said LPN should be privy to any and all education regarding new skills for employees.

Exactly this. Unless you have a contract to provide formal education this could be a bad situation a brewin'.
