[MCOH-EH] Pre-Placement Physicals

[Hodgson, Michael - OSHA]

My understanding is that it refers only to APRNs, not to RNs.  Others, Clinical Specialists, DNSc, etc, are not usually called that.  But the nurses on the list probably have more standing to discuss that and the issues o fnational scope of practice versus State-based licenses.  The nursing world is much farther along than that of Medical licensure ...

Also, the term is not used for PAs as it is a nursing profession term

For people who don't pay attention to or get the modern terminology, the ANA now prefers the term "advanced practitioner" to "midlevel" although the latter term is still use din some ergulatory environments...  It's come up as we've been trying to work with ANA and AOHN around the LPN / RN focused and complex assessment skills under the scope of practice issues.  For people who haven't followed the topic, it has risen to the level of awareness of the various licensing councils and boards ...

We do not have anyone here who is a 'mid level'.
We do have professional registered nurses who are responsible for pre-employment screening and a seasoned OH APRN for any complex or unusual situations.

List,

Who performs pre-placement physicals at your facility (physicians, mid-levels, nurses)?

If physicians or mid-levels perform your physicals, why not nurses?

Thank you.
