So I work in mental health clinic as a psych tech. We talked about administering a new medication and the person has to be watched for 2 hours for side effects. A nurse will do blood pressure a few times but will not be watching. My boss is asking us to watch them. I am not Med certified, cpr trained, or have a panic button. I would love to hear a nurse or health care workers opinion.
