How the state of Texas describes a nurse practitioner controlled- substance prescriptive authority and what scheduled drug can be prescribed by them In the state of Texas, APRNs with full licensure and a valid prescription authorization number are qualified to obtain authority to order and prescribe certain categories of controlled substances. The APRN must comply with all federal and state laws and regulations. Orders for controlled substances in Scheduled 11 may be authorized only in a hospital facility- based practice in accordance with policies approved by the hospital’s medical staff. The patient was admitted for an intended length of stay of 24hrs or greater, receiving services in the emergency room of the hospital. Plan of care of a terminally ill patient. The APRN must access and review the PMP before prescribing Opioids, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, or Carisoprodol unless a patient who has been diagnosed with cancer or the patient is receiving hospice care.(Texas Board of Nursing). Texas is included as a state with restricted scope of practice imposed by regulatory and other barriers preventing the APRNs to practice in accordance with the educational qualification and experience they have acquired(Kleinpell et al.,2023). With this situation a lot of sick patients have been deprived of care they would have received. I believe the struggle should continue for the APRN to continue the struggle to get full authority when it comes to care and prescriptive autority.
