I have a question. I am starting as an ER Tech tuesday... I am an EMT-B, and a medic student. While doing clinicals, I have noticed that the Techs would do many things that were not in their scope of proctice (IVs, NG Tubes, etc.)
I asked the nursing director durring my interview about this, and he said that is shouldn't happen, but it does on a daily basis.
So my question is... What am I supposed to do when I am asked by a Dr. or RN to do something that outside of my scope of practice. I know how to do these things, and I have, but If I am being paid to work as a ER Tech, what do I do in this situation?
