Nurse Prescribing

Author:

Abstract

Nurses, as the most numerous human resources in the field of health, have many roles and responsibilities. The number of countries where nurse prescribing is common is increasing. Also, the legal, educational, and organizational conditions in which a nurse prescribes medication vary greatly from country to country, ranging from the fact that the nurse can only prescribe from a limited list and under the supervision of a physician to the case where the nurse is authorized to prescribe without any restrictions. In many countries, health policymakers have responded to increasing demand for care due to aging populations and the increasing prevalence of chronic disease, physician shortages, and budget constraints, through strategies such as modernizing roles and combining health professions, including the role development of nurses. Prescribing by nurses has been a historic move for the nursing profession and an important part of the health system solution in leading countries to improve access and reduce the waiting time for patients to receive medication. Other potential benefits of nurse prescribing are increased continuity of patient care and better access to medication, efficiency in drug delivery and patient comfort, and reduced patient waiting time.
