If I obtain my nurse specialty certification, am I eligible for a controlled substance license in Michigan?

No, licensed nurse specialists in Michigan are not eligible for a controlled substance license.

Licensed nurse specialists are prohibited from independently prescribing controlled substances in Michigan. A licensed nurse anesthetist cannot prescribe controlled substances in any circumstance. Under the delegation of a supervising licensed physician, a licensed nurse practitioner or nurse midwife may prescribe controlled substances in Schedules 3-5. The prescription of Schedule 2 controlled substances can be delegated if the physician and the nurse practitioner or nurse midwife are both practicing within a hospital, surgical outpatient facility, or hospice.
