Nope they didnt give one well just making my own. Well thank you guyz so much. Pretty much what im doing is out off my line but then ill try my best to get back. U guyz helped me alot

Then is it ok to put it in my CV as job description take history diagnos simple illness request laboratory test and if needed prescribe medicine under doctor's name and guidance?

Thank you for that silverdragon102. So basically i could give medication but not prescribe. In my case we already have protocol for that but at grave yard shift and texted the doctor and ask me to give antibiotics Rx for patient, i should refuse to sign it?

So basically in a company with 50 not exceeding 300 with full time nurse and part time doctor that actually not a part time but an HMO accredited should just do first aid dont give any medication at all if come across with a patient complaining of headache or fever?

Now i see thanks elkpark. U helped me there.

Thank you for the reply mikeru22. Just follow up question how come in the job description of a company nurse include the dispensing of medecine such as analgesic and paracetamol is it the same as prescribing medicine or worst?

To summarize Will it be acceptable in the philippines if i "for" the doctor signiture in the prescription?

Hi! i came across with a topic that NPs can prescribe medicine under protocols but not basic level RNs. And here in philippines we dont offer the course to become NPs. Do we have a law regarding nurse prescribing medicines. As a nurse in a company operating 24hours a day and have a company doctor working 8hours a day so basically there will be a time that the nurse will be the one handling basic consultation. Does dispensing medication to our patient and prescribing medications are the same? Eg. Patient complaints of fever and difficulty of swallowing and exudates was reaveled in the tonsil . I can give paracetamol and pain reliever but cn i give prescription for antibiotics? What if the doctor aproves or the company allows the nurse to prescribe medicines. Or just simply prescribe under the doctor's name and guidance.? Will it be called illegal or malpractice? Is there a difference between writing order trhough phone in hospital setting and carrying out and writing prescription in a company base setting? Need your opinions thank you.
