>What is your criteria for determining who gets issued a TLD badge (for
>x-rays)?
>Specifically I am looking for who do you exclude and on what basis.
>
>For example, do you issue badges to ward nurses if portable fluoro is done
>in the unit?
>What about high volume portable areas where nurses may be required to hold
>the patients such as neonatal, ICU, ER, recovery, etc...
>How do you handle OR physicians and nurses?
>
>Do you have mandatory education that goes along with the badging?
>Do you issue a badge to someone who doesn't meet your criteria but demands
>it?
>
>A lot of questions but I need to get an idea of the "industry standard" out
>there. Any other info along those lines would be a help.
