RN / NP scope for injectables in Nevada

Registered nurses, APRNs and physician assistants are each named on the statutory list of those who may inject dermal or soft tissue fillers, subject to their own scope of practice and to the location requirement.

• An advanced practice registered nurse may engage in selected medical diagnosis and treatment; order home health care for a patient; if authorized pursuant to NRS 639.2351 and subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 3, prescribe controlled substances, poisons, dangerous drugs and devices.
