Big change for RPN

Many things have changed on the surgical floor at North York General Hospital, over past several months. It’s mostly in relation to nursing care and interdisciplinary practices. The latest change provided RPN with grater autonomy. During six month trial RPNs are certified to flush saline lock and administering IV antibiotics and antiemetics. This will help nurses to improve patient care, for the reason that RPN no longer has to look for RN for administration of medications. Thus, drug can be given without delay and with grater outcomes. As a result, patient healing process and happiness increased.
