Nurse practitioners (NPs) generally cannot prescribe certain controlled substances, such as Schedule I drugs, which are illegal and have no accepted medical use. Additionally, some states have restrictions on prescribing higher schedules of controlled substances, like Schedule II drugs, without specific collaborative agreements or supervisory relationships with physicians. Furthermore, NPs may be limited in prescribing certain medications based on their specialty or state regulations. Always check local laws for the most accurate information regarding prescriptive authority.
