E-Prescribing Waiver Update

Posted about 3 years ago by Emily Eastin

APRNs who wish to apply for an E-prescribing waiver under Texas Health and Safety Code §481.0756 may now do so through the Texas Nursing Portal at https://txbn.boardsofnursing.org/txbn. Please note that APRNs will need to create accounts in the Texas Nursing Portal if they have not done so already. APRNs who already have an account should use their existing account to complete the application process. Once on the dashboard in the Portal, there will be a header at the bottom titled “Other Applications”. Select the button titled “Apply” under the header for Other Applications. Please select the Request for Waiver—E-Prescribing for Controlled Substances. If additional information is required to support a request for waiver, this will be communicated to applicants via the Portal. Once the waiver is granted, APRNs and the public will be able to verify the issuance of the waiver via the License Verification Portal at https://txbn.boardsofnursing.org/licenselookup.

Board staff are in the process of adding information to the Portal for those APRNs who were granted waivers prior to March 8, 2021. Please allow staff up to 15 business days to complete the process of adding this information to the Portal.
