No they cannot. Only a licensed physician can write prescriptions.
This is WRONG. A Certified Nurse Midwife and Certified Midwife are both considered midlevel clinicians and take an identical pharmacology class to an MD. We can and do write prescriptions for many types of medicines- even controlled substances (you must have a DEA# to do so- and yes many of us have them)
The truth is: Midwives, Nurse Practitioners and Physician's assistants can ALL write prescriptions.
