Hi Tracy-
Happy to assist as we have many of the nurse protocols you are inquiring about.
Caution related to your language of nurses prescribing- out of scope.
If your protocol is set up properly with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for medication adjustment, it could be signed "per protocol, co-sign required" or whatever similar language is in your EMR. We use epic.
Easier to connect offline.
Please email me directly if interested.
Lisa

Tracy,
I'm working on a similar issue. Did you ever get any examples or perhaps you may have developed some since the original post.

Subject: Nurse Protocols
Hello all, I'm in the market for ANY Nurse driven protocols or guidelines. I'm finally getting some traction at my organization to encourage and endorse RNs working to the top of their licensure. I currently have in place protocols & algorithms for prescribing for UTI and Conjunctivitis. I would like to venture into the arena of adjusting medications based on lab results and s/s for disease processes such as HTN, CHF, DM, hyperlipidemia and Coumadin clinics/ INR management. I would be grateful for any and all information and thoughts anyone is willing to share. Thank you kindly.
