The Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians recently issued a precedential decision in a disciplinary case in which a Licensed Vocational Nurse performed treatments at a skin care salon and medical spa. The decision concluded that the Licensed Vocational Nurse could not administer Botox, Juvederm, and Kybella injections, perform platelet rich plasma therapy, vitamin drips or skin growth removal procedures, or inject glutathione since of all these procedures are beyond their scope of practice.

You can find the decision at:

The Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians serves and protects the public by licensing qualified and competent vocational nurses and psychiatric technicians through ongoing educational oversight, regulation, and enforcement.

In reply to Bernadette.

Hi Bernadette, you can certainly learn, however you will want to ask your state medical board whether or not you can legally inject patients, or else the training will be for educational purposes only.

I am a long term LPN and have worked for a plastic surgeon in a medical spa for 14 yrs. I treat clients and post op patients with multiple procedures for face and body. Am I allowed to learn how to inject fillers and Botox?
