Can a registered nurse inject Botox or filler in Alabama?
Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter
ALABAMA SORTS THE STAFF INTO TWO NAMED TIERS FOR ENERGY-DEVICE WORK. A LEVEL 1 DELEGATE is a physician assistant, a certified registered nurse practitioner or a registered nurse authorized in a written job description or protocol to use a specific device for non-ablative procedures, who has met the Level 1 educational requirements. A LEVEL 2 DELEGATE is an LPN or a medical assistant — the rule names aestheticians, cosmetologists and laser technicians in that tier — on the same written-authorization and education conditions. Separately, a certified registered nurse practitioner in collaborative practice may evaluate health status from a comprehensive history and physical examination, formulate a working diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.
