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.
