EJ Discontinuation Question

Are floor/tele nurses at your facility allowed to d/c EJs, or does it have to be someone on your IVT team? My first thought was that it is considered a peripheral line so the same considerations apply as to other peripheral lines. As a tele nurse at our facility, we are allowed to d/c IJs and other central lines (with the exception of PICCs), so why would we not be allowed to d/c an EJ? Any thoughts?
I've never done it, but it occurs to me that it might depend on your hospital's policy. I'd check with them first.

It may have been overlooked and not specifically mentioned because they are not that common. If you see a lot of them I'd be curious as to why. But, yes, I believe they are no different to remove than a peripheral.
