Monoclonal Antibody Administration

Does your site require a "Chemo Competent RN" to administer non-hazardous monoclonal antibodies for non-oncologic indications (i.e. rituximab)? We currently do, but this practice is being questioned due to causing delays in patient care.

I'm not finding a reference/consensus statement published anywhere, but the few orders I have found refer to required RN training in monoclonal antibody administration.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
