Can a registered nurse inject Botox or filler in Michigan?
Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — none defines RN scope or names who may inject. They establish only that a licensee may delegate acts within the licensee's own scope, but not any act that requires the licensee's own level of education, skill, and judgment.
Michigan reaches advanced practice through a specialty certification granted by the Board of Nursing rather than a separate license, and defines practical nursing as performed under the supervision of an RN, physician or dentist.

⚠️ § 17201 defines what an advanced practice registered nurse IS in Michigan; it does not settle whether one may practice or prescribe without physician involvement. Michigan routes prescriptive and delegated authority through § 333.16215 and the specialty-certification rules, and this corpus has not yet read the provisions that govern an APRN’s independence — so do not read the definition below as an answer to that question.

An “advanced practice registered nurse” in Michigan is a registered professional nurse who has been granted a specialty certification under § 17210 in nurse midwifery, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist. The status is a certification layered on the RN license, not a distinct license of its own. (Complete through PA 9 of 2026.)
