IV Push Paralytic

Hello Medication Safety Leadership

We had a question that came up in our last P&T Meeting and wanted to hear everyone's feedback. Can Registered Nurse IV Push a neuromuscular blocking agents (IV Paralytics) on a intubated patient without physician at a bedside? There is some questions on whether this is within a registered nurse scope of practice.

Thank you!
