I would say that this being an "invasive procedure" that it should NOT be
done by an LC in her capacity as an LC, even if she is a nurse. NG tubes
should be used by direct order from a physician and even tho I know how to do
one (because of nurse's training and spending a rotation in a NICU) it should
not be done by unlicensed health care personnel. There's a reason we need
Dr's orders to do certain things.
