RN / NP scope for injectables in Arizona
The Nurse Practice Act defines registered nursing as diagnosing and treating human responses, establishing a nursing diagnosis, prescribing and delegating nursing interventions, and related acts. Prescriptive authority for legend drugs is granted separately, to registered nurse practitioners, and not by this definition.
A.R.S. §32-1601(24) · verified Jul 26, 2026
A registered nurse practitioner may diagnose and may prescribe, administer, and dispense legend drugs and devices within the NP scope — so an NP may both order and administer cosmetic injectables.
A.R.S. §32-1601(23) · verified Jul 26, 2026
The board may issue limited licenses or certificates if it determines that an applicant or licensee cannot function safely in a specific setting or within the full scope of practice.
