Only licensed physicians or healthcare providers such as medical students and nurse practitioners can write medication orders. Medical students and nurse practitioners must have the order countersigned by a physician or work from an approved list of orders that can be written. Registered nurses and emergency medical technicians cannot independently write medication orders but can administer them, in an emergency situation, using an approved protocol.
