An LPN may phone in a prescription if a licensed doctor, PA, or nurse practitioner has written it and asked them to do it.

In most states, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are not authorized to call in prescription refills to the pharmacy. This task generally falls under the duties of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a healthcare provider such as a physician or nurse practitioner. LPNs often assist with medication administration but do not typically have the authority to order prescriptions.
