Re: stable neonate question clarification

[Ken Lawson-Williams <Macgyver@FlightMedicMail.com>]

I.M.H.O. an RN / Resident team is usually a solo RN team unless the resident has special training and experience in the transport environment. Besides which, is your resident a fully functioning independently acting doctor, or just another provider who works under delegation's of function / must have his treatments reviewed by his attending (ie: just like us?)

Greetings - thanx to all for your responses to my query about transporting stable neonates - as a clarification, our transport team configuration is flight nurse/ER resident - when we are asked to transport patients by ground, we then triage them as to needed level of care, i.e. EMT-P's vs FN alone vs FN/ER resident - we have had very good success with triaging incoming ground patients, but I am hoping to simply find out if anyone's facilities allow EMT-P's to "bring stable babies from one nursery to another", i.e. without a nurse accompanying them - again, thanx for any responses
