No a nurse practitioner cannot write a prescription, only an MD can.I am a Nurse Practitioner and I can and do write prescriptions for medicines and controlled substances ( I have a DEA number.... just like a doctor must have as well to write for scheduled drugs). A Nurse Practitioner is a mid- level clinician and we often function independently in clinical settings. We take a pharmacology course identical to an MD pharmacology course. We are authorized to write prescriptions in all 50 states. In many clinical settings- we are the primary care person- as so many MDs have left or are reluctant to go into family medicine. Please, who ever wrote this answer- educate yourself before you attempt to answer a question you clearly have no knowledge about.

Yes, a physician's DEA number can be used in another state as long as they are registered with the DEA and have the appropriate state licensure for that state. However, individual states may have their own regulations regarding the prescription of controlled substances, so it's important for physicians to be aware of and comply with those state-specific laws. Additionally, if the physician is practicing in a different state, they may need to apply for a state-controlled substance registration.
