Haw. Code R. § 16-89-119 - Prescriptive authority eligibility requirements
(a) The
requirements for prescriptive authority are as follows:
(1) A completed application for prescriptive
authority provided by the board and submitted with all appropriate documents
and required fees;
(2) Proof of a
current, unencumbered license as a registered nurse in this State and in all
other states in which the nurse has a current and active license;
(3) Proof of a current, unencumbered license
as an advanced practice registered nurse in this State and in all other states
in which the nurse has a current and active license as an advanced practice
registered nurse or similar designation;
(4) Proof of a current, unencumbered
certification for specialized and advanced nursing practice from a national
certifying body recognized by the board;
(5) Proof of successful completion of an
accredited graduate-level nursing program with a significant educational and
practical concentration on the direct care of patients, recognized by the
board, leading to a graduate-level degree as a certified registered nurse
anesthetist, a nurse midwife, a clinical nurse specialist, or a nurse
practitioner. A graduate-level degree in nursing education or nursing
administration does not qualify an applicant for prescriptive
authority.
(6) Proof of successful
completion of at least thirty contact hours, as part of a graduate-level
nursing degree program from an accredited, board-recognized college or
university, of advanced pharmacology education, including advanced
pharmacotherapeutics that is integrated into the curriculum, within the
three-year time period immediately preceding the date of application. If
completed more than the three-year time period, then one of the following shall
be completed within the three-year time period immediately preceding the date
of application for initial prescriptive authority:
(A) At least thirty contact hours of advanced
pharmacology, including advanced pharmacotherapeutics, from an accredited,
board-recognized college or university; or
(B) At least thirty contact hours of
continuing education ("CE") approved by board-recognized national certifying
bodies in advanced pharmacology, including advanced pharmacotherapeutics
related to the applicant's scope of nursing practice specialty; and
(7) Payment of a non-refundable
application fee.
Upon satisfying all requirements in chapter 457, HRS, and this chapter, and payment of required fees, the board shall grant prescriptive authority to the APRN.
(b) Nothing in this section shall preclude a
registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, or an APRN from carrying out the
prescribed medical orders of a licensed dentist, physician, osteopath, or
podiatrist licensed in accordance with chapter
448,
453, or
463E, HRS, or the orders of a
licensed APRN granted prescriptive authority in accordance with this
chapter.
(c) Nothing in this
chapter shall require a certified registered nurse anesthetist to have
prescriptive authority under this chapter in order to provide anesthesia care.
