Or. Admin. Code § 851-053-0010 - Prescriptive Privilege and Dispensing Authority for APRNs

(1) If applying for initial optional prescriptive privilege (PP), the applicant must show:

(a) Completion of initial education program within two years prior to the application date providing at least 45 contact hours of advanced pharmacology concepts; or

(b) Evidence of completion of a 45-hour discrete pharmacology course congruent with the licensure being sought and population foci; or

(c) Current prescriptive privilege in another state or U.S. jurisdiction, including a U.S. federal institution or facility.

(2) If an APRN is renewing optional prescriptive privilege the applicant must:

(a) Submit a completed prescriptive privilege renewal application in accordance with ORS 678.101(5);

(b) Maintain active, unencumbered Oregon RN and APRN licensure;

(c) Attest to completion of the online Prescription and Dispensing Authority in Oregon interactive video located on the OSBN website.

(3) If an APRN has previously been issued prescriptive privilege that has been expired for more than 30 days that they wish to reactivate, the applicant must:

(a) Submit a completed application per OAR 851-006-0030(17);

(b) An APRN must have an active unencumbered RN and APRN license prior to their prescriptive privilege being reactivated;

(c) Attest to completion of the online Prescription and Dispensing Authority in Oregon interactive video located on the OSBN website

(4) An APRN who provides greater than a 72-hour supply of prepackaged medications to clients is required to apply for and be issued dispensing privileges in Oregon. Dispensing privilege is separate from an APRN's prescriptive privilege and is noted as such on their APRN license verification.

(5) An APRN may obtain dispensing privilege by submitting a completed application as defined in OAR 851-006-0030(17) to the Board. This application may be submitted at the time of initial application or whenever dispensing privileges are required. Dispensing privileges are renewed, if still needed by the practitioner, at the same time as the APRN license.
