RN / NP scope for injectables in Idaho
An Idaho advanced practice registered nurse is a registered nurse licensed in the state who has gained additional specialized knowledge, skills and experience through a program of study recognized or defined by the board. The statute authorizes the APRN to perform advanced nursing practice, WHICH MAY INCLUDE the prescribing, administering and dispensing of therapeutic pharmacologic agents as defined by board rules — and then bounds it twice: the APRN shall perform only those acts as provided by the board and for which the individual is educationally prepared, and the APRN collaborates with other health professionals in providing health care. Four roles are named: certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse practitioner and certified registered nurse anesthetist. Because the operative limits are set by BOARD RULE, the statute alone does not fix the scope of any particular procedure.
