Does a nurse midwife's prescription need any other co-signature or information?

A nurse midwife’s prescription does not require a co-signature but does have specific requirements for additional information that must be present. In Connecticut, while nurse midwives are permitted to prescribe medications, their prescriptions must include certain identifying details, such as their license number and the specific authority under which they are able to prescribe. This ensures that the prescription is valid and adheres to the regulations governing advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).

The emphasis on not requiring a co-signature reflects the autonomy that nurse midwives have in their clinical practice, particularly in a collaborative practice model where they operate under their own authority to prescribe medications. The requirement for additional information helps to ensure clarity and accountability in the prescribing process.
