Can a registered nurse inject Botox or filler in Delaware?
Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter
Delaware is an independent-practice state for advanced practice registered nurses, and says so inside the definition: advanced practice nursing is “licensed as an independent licensed practitioner” in a role and population focus approved by the Board of Nursing, and the APRN scope includes performing acts of advanced assessment, diagnosing, prescribing and ordering. The Nursing chapter sets who qualifies — an RN who has completed a graduate-level APRN program accredited by a national accrediting body and holds current certification by a national certifying body in the appropriate role and at least 1 population focus — and gives the Board of Nursing authority to grant, restrict, suspend or revoke practice or prescriptive authority.
