Different laws in every state about the practice of medicine and botox
Regardless of your state, the laws being different from state to state, do you want a nurse to inject your Botox or trust a physician who may understand the anatomy better? This is a theoretical question. There is no doubt that experience is important and there are some nurses who may inject Botox with more consistent results than some doctors depending on their skills, experience and specialty.

RNs administering Botox
In Florida, RN's are unable to inject botox. Based of a review online, Maine is more silent on the subject so you will need to contact the Medical Board in Maine to clarify its guidelines.

Botox at a spa
In California nurses can inject botox and fillers at a Medical Spa as long as they have oversight of a Medical director. The Medical director takes medical liability so you can be assured the RN's are trained appropriately. Laws are different in every state

RN injecting Botox
In NY, a nurse can only inject botox under the direct supervision of a medical doctor. As for Maine, I have no idea.

You'd have to contact The Medical Board in maine and ask that question. Every state has different regulations, here in California medi-spas must be owned partly by a licensed MD who supervises the RN's. Any non-MD injecting Botox would have to do so under an MD supervision.

Botox administration in Maine
Each state has specific guidelines on who can and can't administer Botox. You need to consult your specific state medical board to find out. However more importantly, for injections of any kind, it's not necessarily the guidelines of the state to determine someone's qualifications but just their legal status for injections. It's best to find someone who is well-trained - any kind of injections are an art! Find a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon!
