RNs can perform nursing functions and administer properly ordered treatment (including injections), but diagnosis, prescribing, and dose changes stay with the prescriber.
Clinical governance reviewed by Armando A Falcon, MD (FL ME 84789) · Florida regulatory framework reviewed August 2026.
An RN can perform professional nursing functions within Florida scope and may administer properly prescribed medications or treatments — including testosterone injections under an appropriate order. An RN license does not create independent prescribing authority or authority to independently alter a patient’s hormone prescription.
RN functions may include nursing assessment, patient education, injections under appropriate orders, monitoring, documentation, and escalation. Prescriber functions include diagnosis, prescribing, changing the medication/dose, and individualized therapeutic decisions requiring prescriptive authority.
Use the RN for nursing — not as an informal replacement for the prescriber. Confirm assignments against Board of Nursing rules.
