Can FL. RN's give Botox?

Published

I was wondering if anyone had any updated information regarding the topic of Botox and Dermal Fillers (Restylane). Can RN's legally administer Botox? There seems to be a lot of "gray" in this area. Any info. would be helpful. I understand that there are places to go to get trained. The big question is...Is this legal in the State of Florida? Thanks!!

Can't RNs legally administer anything prescribed by a physician?

No although it depends on your state nursing practice act. In my state we arent allowed to push certain meds for anesthesia. As far as Botox, I dont know although I would imagine that this would be more of a procedure that is out of the scope of practice of a RN, although I guess it could be considered medication administration.
