I am asked to do a new procedure by physicians in my workplace. 1. First I would ask myself, “Is this in my nursing scope of practice”. Check in with what I find concerning, and also what positive effect this new practice will have related to patient care. 2. Then gather all information on the new procedure available. 3. I would discuss with my head nurse/supervisor. Review any new ideas or concerns my supervisor may have. 4. I would review patient rights. 5. I would call the nursing practice board in New Mexico, and review it with the gentleman Derek I usually talk to when I have questions. Derek and I are well acquainted, from previous questions and requests of interpretations of Nursing Practice Act in N. M. 6. I would discuss the new process with Human Resources with whom I am also I have had contact with, in regards to previous questions, they are very helpful. 7. I would notify Risk Management, and review any information they may have regarding the new practice. 8. I would also call my local nurse’s union, reviewing any past practice issues that may have brought concern to new procedures, and to find support from my union. 9. Since I received specially nursing in child psych, I would contact ANCC just to run it by them also. 10. I would request any training that may be offered via www.pesi.com (for example) for all staff. I can also receive nursing credits for any seminars attended. 11. I would call hospitals in same city to discuss how this new process is being done and what the outcome is if it is being done at that specific hospital. 12. Appoint a committee with a nurse directing the committee, this committee will observe new processes related to this new procedure and verify any current practices. A committee can be appointed first, to gather all information, or can be appointed once research is
