IV push paralytics TJC concern

Forums: 

At my organization, IV push paralytics are administered by nurses in a couple of defined situations, RSI and suppression of shivering in hypothermia patients. We have heard that Joint Commission has cited facilities that allow IVP administration of paralytics by nurses. Has your organization experienced regulatory challenges related to IVP paralytics? Do you have policy that limits who can administer a paralytic?
