Are there any medications that the licensed practical nurse is not allowed to administer?
Answer

The nursing law and rule does not prohibit the competent and appropriately trained licensed practical nurse from administering any medication – legend or controlled substance (Schedule II-IV) or over-the-counter medications. The licensed practical nurse may administer medications by any route. The licensed practical nurse must be competent and follow the standards for medication administration.
