Florida is a political nightmare. RN's inject morphine and chemo drugs. Botox and dermal fillers should be the Rn's duty. LPN inject botox in other states. It can't kill you like chemo can. Doctors are just greedy for the money. They should stick to surgery. Botox and filler injects is cosmetic. It is not medically necessary. Florida needs to get on board and quit changing the laws for convience of the doctor

∙ 12y agoIn the USA it depends on the states scope of practice for LPNs. Even though this procedure has been around for sometime this is sometimes still considered frontier practice and there are many gray area's. It is best to contact the Board of Nursing for the specific state for this information. In Massachusetts it is within an LPNs scope of practice with proper training and supervision of a Physician. LPNs may administer under supervision. RNs may administer with a doctor's order.

What qualifications should someone injecting botox have?
In California, only medical doctors, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners and registered nurses can legally administer Botox (MD, PA, RNP, RN). However, when you are considering who to go to, always find out how experienced the doctor or nurse is with Botox injections and how focused the practice is on aesthetic procedures. A family practioner who does Botox to make extra money would not be high on my list of Botox specialists, for example. I also would not go to a medical spa in a mall or other location where a doctor is rarely present. The nurses injecting may be very good, but the physician medical director of an office that does injections should be closely involved with the office, not in another state (as is the case with some chains of medical spas).
I would like to qualify to administer botox?
In most states the Botox requires a prescription so a Dr or at least a Nurse Practioner will need to be in the office. However a RN or Md is not required to actually do the administering. Check with the state Department of medical professional regulation for legal requirements in your state. IN most states a Phlebotomist has the requirements to administer the injection. You can ask a Dr or RN or maybe call the local Nursing school, they MAY know.
