  • 1.  MA scope of practice

    Posted 10-10-2023 07:02

    Good morning from Long Island, NY.

    Let me start by saying I really enjoy reading all the posts and responses by all the nurses across our country. It's a great way for us to connect and share experiences. 

    Since I am from NY I am curious to find out if there are any other states that do NOT allow MA's to administer vaccines and medications ( including oxygen). Based on a lot of the posts I read I see MA's in many states are allowed to administer medications.

    NY has very specific rules about what MA's can and can not do. 

    This is not a criticism of other states. I just find the difference between all the states very interesting.

    Have a great day fellow nurses. ��
