A member asked:
Are nurses allowed to call in perscriprions for patients?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, with limits...: Nurse practitioners are able to call in (or direct someone to call in) a prescription for a patient. In many offices, a triage or phone nurse is often directed to call in prescriptions for patients.

Not prescribe: They may call a script over the phone that a doctor or physician assistant prescribes, but nurses do not have prescription privileges. At least in ohio they dont.
