Hi all,
We do not carry EpiPens, except when administering TSTs. I did want to make sure everyone knows about the 340b pricing for government agencies. Through McKesson we are able to get epinephrine auto injectors (generic EpiPens) for
$0.01. That is correct $0.01. Sometimes they are $0.05. Currently they are back ordered. And the price does fluxuate. The most we have paid is $40, but it is still hundreds less than the EpiPen.
If anyone has questions about how to enroll in 340b, I am happy to help.
Thanks!

We keep epinephrine in vials wherever we give injectable antibiotics. Epipens have become too expensive and seem to have short expiration dates

Hello all,
Nurses generally do not carry epi pens. I can only speak for Colorado and WI, having lived, trained and worked there as well.

Amy,
Here in NH the nurses don’t carry Epi pens when doing DOT. They do however when they are planting TST’s.

All,
I am interested to know if your agency policies require the nurses to carry epinephrine while performing DOT of po meds (ie - INH, Rif, EMB, PZA) in the home? Are your nurses carrying epi when giving injectables?

Hi Amy,
In some of the clinics in NJ the DOT is provided by non-medical personnel which cannot administer the epi. And they do not bring an emergency kit. They are all provided with phones in case they need to call 911.
However, the clinics’ have standing orders to administer epi or Benadryl in clinic if need be.
Whenever possible, the first few doses of DOT (oral and injectable) are given in the clinic to observe the patient. If a nurse is doing the DOT some clinics will bring an emergency kit especially in the beginning or if they could
not be observed in the clinic.

Hi Amy,
No our DOT providers/nurses don’t carry an emergency kit when providing PO meds. We do carry an emergency kit (injectable Benadryl and Epinephrine) when giving injectable.

Hello nurse colleagues,
Another “Rather than re-inventing the wheel” request from a nurse here in CA, Jennie Brown, who is looking for an example of an RN protocol for monitoring patients on treatment for LTBI. Her setting is a student health clinic setting
but any examples would be helpful. We’d be very appreciative if you have something already available and are willing to share if you would forward to us.
Thanks in advance for any examples you may have to share!

Good afternoon,
I am working on updating job description for our staff in our TB program. I am trying to add minimum requirement and certification for some staff. So, I am looking to see what is out there. Here are my few questions:
- What is your TB program Staffing like? How many case mangers? How do they share their caseload?
- Do RNs case manage your LTBI?
- Also, are your DOT aide CNAs? CMAs?
Any help with this is welcomed.
Thank you all
