Can a registered nurse inject Botox or filler in Kansas?

Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter

Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they establish only that prescribing, recommending or furnishing drugs is practicing medicine, that delegation requires a person qualified by training or licensure, and that an RN may not hold out as an APRN.

Kansas gates the advanced practice registered nurse TITLE on board licensure: no professional nurse may announce or represent to the public that they are an advanced practice registered nurse unless they have complied with the requirements established by the board and hold a valid APRN license. The board establishes those standards and requirements, including standards and requirements relating to the education of advanced practice registered nurses. The healing arts act separately makes it unprofessional conduct to use any letters, words or terms as an affix, on stationery, in advertisements or otherwise indicating that a person is entitled to practice a branch of the healing arts for which that person is not licensed. Current PA law as of October 23, 2026 requires physician direction and supervision and a written prescribing agreement. Enacted HB2702 changes this on January 1, 2027: a PA attesting to at least 4,000 postgraduate clinical hours and no discipline under §65-28a05 may use physician or physician-group collaboration under a practice agreement kept on site and available to the board. Less experienced PAs remain under physician supervision and a written practice agreement. These future provisions are not yet effective.
