How do you know if a nurse is a safe Botox injector, or legal in your state?

This is a question many medical boards are being asked. You must check your state's medical board for their opinion on this.

I recently reviewed the opinion of the Florida Medical Board of Medicine and they declared injecting Botox as a "Medical Procedure." Therefore, only Physicians, PAs, and Nurse Practioners can inject Botox Cosmetic. If anyone else is doing the injections, they are practicing medicine without a license and can be prosecuted.
