What professions are licensed to give injections?
IN ORDER TO give someone an injection, you must be a doctor,
nurse practioner (R.N. with further education), an LPN (licenced
practical nurse), or an R.N. (registered nurse). If you are a child
or an adult with a particular need for injections (diabetes, cancer
etc.) a nurse can instruct you how, and you can give them to
yourself. ALSO, trained medical personnel, like an EMT in an
ambulance can give injections and start I.V.'s.
