Scope of Practice by State

Where Registered Nurses Can Practice Procedural Medicine

Registered nurses may perform cosmetic injections and many procedural treatments in nearly every state, provided there is a supervising physician, NP, or dentist who has performed the initial patient consultation, evaluation, and prescribed the treatment plan.

Standard Model RN Injection Allowed Under Physician/NP Supervision
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
Key Restriction Good-Faith Exam Required Before RN Administers
California Florida Illinois Nevada New Jersey New York Texas
Please verify: Most states require a physician, NP, or PA to conduct a good-faith exam and write the prescription/order before an RN may administer a Schedule II/legend drug. Verify state-specific delegation rules with your Board of Nursing. This information is general guidance and should not be construed as legal advice.

Scope of Practice

Career Paths & Legal Considerations

Registered nurses generally perform procedures under physician supervision or delegation. Most states allow RNs to administer injectable aesthetics, perform laser treatments, and deliver IV infusions under the supervision of a licensed physician, NP, or PA. Empire's courses are designed to give RNs the clinical competency required for safe, effective practice — but scope of practice varies by state, so always confirm with your state board of nursing before offering new services.

Frequently Asked Questions — Registered Nurses

Yes, in most U.S. states registered nurses can administer Botox and dermal filler injections under the supervision of a physician, NP, or PA. RNs typically work under a medical director's standing orders or delegated authority. Empire's Botox training for RNs covers the clinical techniques, safety protocols, and legal considerations you need to practice within your scope.
Yes. Empire Medical Training courses are AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ accredited, which is recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and most state boards of nursing for continuing education requirements.
Certified aesthetic nurses are in very high demand. Career paths include med spa aesthetic nurse injector, dermatology practice RN, plastic surgery clinic RN, mobile injector (in full practice authority states), and independent aesthetic nurse (where allowed). Many RNs use Empire training to transition into specialized cash-pay practices earning significantly more than traditional hospital or clinic roles.
Scope of practice varies by state. Most states require RNs to work under physician delegation or medical director supervision for injectable aesthetics. Some states allow independent RN practice in limited contexts. Empire's instructors can help you understand the regulations in your state during your training, but you should always verify with your state board of nursing.
The top courses for registered nurses are Complete Botox Training, Complete Dermal Filler Training, PRP for Aesthetics, Cosmetic Laser Courses, IV Nutrition Therapy, and Joint & Extremity Injection. Many RNs combine multiple courses to build a diversified skill set.
