Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
Student externs and graduates with temporary permits will be limited in the performance of respiratory care to those competence levels that have written verification and in accordance with the safe practice and patient care safety regulations of the facility.
A. Temporary permits are only valid for the performance of respiratory care under the direct supervision of the training supervisor who signed the supervisor's agreement portion of the applicant's application for the temporary permit.
B. Any change in supervision or in employment by either the permittee or the training supervisor invalidates the permit and must be reported to the department. Since the training supervisor is responsible for the respiratory care administered by the permittee, it is advisable for the training supervisor in this circumstance to document to the department that he or she is no longer professionally responsible for the permittee.
C. A temporary permit issued to a respiratory care student extern is immediately invalid upon the student extern's withdrawal from the respiratory care training and education program.
D. A student extern temporary permit may not be renewed more than two times.
