Aesthetic NP Practice Authority
What an NP, PA, or RN entering aesthetic medicine in Nevada needs to know — sourced from the AANP State Practice Environment + the Nevada Board of Nursing.
Yes. Nevada granted full practice authority in 2013 (NRS Chapter 632); a licensed NP may form and own a professional corporation to operate an aesthetic practice without a physician co-owner.
No ongoing collaboration is required after licensure. The one limit: prescribing Schedule II controlled substances requires 2 years or 2,000 hours of experience, or a collaborating-physician protocol until that threshold is met (NRS 632.237) — generally not relevant to core aesthetic injectables, which are not scheduled.
GFE required before first dose. Telehealth GFE permitted per NRS 633 telehealth provisions.
RNs may inject aesthetic medications (botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, fat-dissolving) under a valid prescriber order and approved protocol. Only PRESCRIBING requires a licensed NP/MD/DO. Verify with your board.
