Portland Oregon Hospital Tech Scope

[wannabeliketv]

Do the hospitals in the portland oregon area that hire medics as Emergency Room Techs allow them to start IVs? Are they just stocking shelves and pushing patients to rooms? Providence, Legacy, etc.

Not that I've seen. When I did my rotation it was mostly what you describe. Also they all require at least one year of EMT experience.
