Court: Unsupervised nurses can give anesthetics
6/19/12
The state Supreme Court has refused to bar specially trained
nurses from giving anesthetics to hospital patients in California
without a doctor’s supervision.
The court’s order, issued last week, ends a legal battle between an alliance of nurses and hospitals, on one side, and California physicians, who were joined on the other side by the American Medical Association and doctors’ organizations in other states. (Egelko, San Francisco Chronicle 6/19/12)
