  • 1.  Nurse Injectable Protocols (e.g. Botox)

    Posted 07-11-2024 10:17

    Is any currently having their RNs administer cosmetic injectables?  And if so, have you created any competencies, protocols, guidelines?  If they have gone through a certification, how is your organization validating competency?

    Our organization allows for RNs to administer cosmetic Botox. We have a procedure and a competency in place.
