Can RNs and Nurse Practitioners Inject Botox in Texas?

Nurses do most of the injecting in this industry — but Texas draws specific lines around what an RN versus an NP can do, and who has to supervise.

By Evan at Inside MedSpa

Registered nurses (RNs)

Yes, under physician delegation; scope varies by board interpretation

Nurse practitioners & physician assistants

NP/PA may inject under collaborative agreement; independent practice permitted in limited circumstances

Supervision & the medical director

Required for RN/LPN injectors; physician oversight mandatory

The exam requirement

Required; in-person or telehealth permitted under certain conditions

What to verify in Texas

Verify with the Texas Medical Board and Board of Nursing whether your specific injector scope and telehealth GFE model comply, as Texas rules allow flexibility but require clear documentation.
