Running Head: PRESCRIPTION WRITING AND PRIVILEGES 1
California: Prescription Writing and Privileges.
My clinical experience prescribing medications and my access to electronic prescribing.
My access to electronic prescribing has improved legibility since it limits any pharmacy
errors that occur when filling prescriptions. This makes it quite easy to have a clearly
documented medication lists that could be represented on paper charts. I noticed that patients as
well did appreciate this kind of prescription. The electronic prescription made it possible to refer
to lab results as it had access to the last time the patient visited the clinic. With this method, I did
not have to print, and call in prescriptions like it was the case with writing prescriptions on
paper. Most importantly, it aided in having improved outcomes that could be compared with
future prescriptions.
Prescription privileges of APNs in California.
In California, the APNs have the privilege to prescribe drugs expect that they have to do
it under the supervision of the Physicians (Phillips, 2018). In this case, the APNs could
administer and prescribe medication as well as the schedules II-V controlled substances. The
APNs are also allowed to prescribe the good stuff but with the help of a practice agreement
(Phillips, 2018). The state requires every APN to work with a physician (Buppert, 2017). The
physician is required to supervise up to four drug-prescribing APN. However, the physician does
not necessarily need to have direct contact with the APN.
APNs prescription privileges different from physicians.
The APNs are allowed to prescribe medication, but with the involvement of the physician
(Sandhu, 2016). The APNs also have to have a 6 months of physician-supervised experience and
a schedule for prescribing the schedule II controlled substance (Sandhu, 2016). As for
Physicians, the state allows them to prescribe controlled substances without any supervision.
