KINGSTON WHIG-STANDARD - St. Lawrence College is one of seven Ontario colleges that will be offering training to registered nurses that will qualify them to prescribe medications under certain conditions.

The training, which will take place through the college’s Continuing Education online platform starting in January, is in response to the provincial government’s announcement earlier this year that it would allow RNs to prescribe medications for certain conditions — such as contraception, immunizations, smoking cessation and topical wound care — in settings such as long-term care and retirement homes.
