richd748 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I know that PA-C in texas can only write for Schedule III-V controlled substances, but does this also apply when completing hospital inpatient orders (i.e. post op orders for morphine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 With the passage of SB406, PAs in TX can now prescribe schedule II drugs in hospitals and for patients in hospice. http://www.tapa.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richd748 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Do you know when this bill actually goes into effect. Researching it appears September 1, 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It looks like 11/1/13 according to this article: https://ntnpmw.enpnetwork.com/nurse-practitioner-news/24351-governor-rick-perry-signed-sb-406-into-law- So I guess that doesn't help answer your original question in the meantime.
