Why can nurses inject botox and fillers? The nurses in my hospital barely know what acetaminophen is. How is that possible that a doctor of pharmacy who studied drugs for 6 or 7 full years and know every single side effect etc, cannot , but nurses that know abslutely nothing about the medications they give, can?
