IL + Nurse Practitioner + Trigger Points = HELP!

Published

I am considering hiring a nurse practitioner at my Illinois PM&R clinic to do trigger point injections but I have a few questions.

What type of requirements are there for this to happen? Wgat training/experience/supervision must a NP have to provide trigger point injections on patients in the state of Illinois?

Thanks!

Might want to just run that question by the Illinois board of nursing.

I did and the Illinois board said to post on this board. :confused:

Lol.

Please post this question to the IL Society Of Advanced Practice Nursing. http://www.isapn.org

They have a practice advisory team (PIRT).

I'm in IL and when I've been credentialed there is a checklist and as long as my collaborating physician does the procedure and can supervise the required number of procedures. Sometimes there might be the requirement of some type of formal training too.

I did a post-masters PMHNP program in Illinois and now you know why that state will never be my address, lol!

OP meant he went to the Illinois forum here at allnurses.com and members advised him to post here in the NP forum.

He needs to contact the Illinois Board of Nursing as pointed out by traumaRUs. :)
