Want a different view?

most medical board and pa board post their discipline hearing conclusions on line. Search some of them - scared the living heck out of me for what people get in official license trouble for. Sorry i don't write for family or friends....

and odd, that's not what you said in this thread ... want a different view?

http://www.physicianassistantforum.c...for-themselves

write for myself and family for the simple little things - but not pain control or controlled meds

guess you had a change of mind and that is of course allowed in life. there are some good links in that thread, here are a couple others (remembering that we are not independent prescribers...)

http://www.nabp.net/news/kansas-news...r-prescribing/

The Physician Assistant Licensure Act and the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner Act do not specifically preclude mid-level practitioners from writing prescriptions for themselves or their family members. The American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics allows for the activities in emergencies or for minor issues, but it is considered inappropriate to prescribe controlled substances to family members.

as others have said, there may be state specific guidelines which i am unaware of.
