[NYSRPS Member] EPI Pen

[Daryl Willenbrink]

So many different methods?  At my state operated agency only a nurse 
or the individual (if capable) and or a Medication Certified employee 
may administer an Epi Pen.  Why?  Because it is a perscribed 
medication.  Additionally, the nurse will keep the med locked up 
until needed.  The med must be accompanied with doctors orders 
(original packing) and are not stored overnight.

Our American Red Cross CPR and First Aid classes do not offer this 
addition into their classes.
