Thank You for your reply. Does this still hold true if the RN wrote the order, signed the APN name and her own name? Or legally should the order be signed by the APN themselves?
The issue I have is this is a verbal order that you have no way of verifying. It doesn't matter if its a physician or an APN. Either they give the VO themselves or sign the orders.

An APN can provide orders to have a RN follow. Same as a MD, PA-C, DO, DDS/DMD ect.
