A 30-hour pharmacology course designed for master's of science in nursing nurse practitioner (NP) students was made available to community NPs as a continuing education (CE) offering to assist them in meeting new state requirements for prescribing authority. Fifty-seven of 74 course graduates responded to a survey conducted 1 to 4 years after they completed the course. Responses showed that most NPs in clinical practice did initiate orders for drug therapy, although only 11 had obtained prescriptive authority. No differences in drug prescribing patterns were found between master's- and non-master's-prepared NPs, or between NPs who received pharmacology content while enrolled in the basic graduate program or a CE course.
一门为护理学硕士护理从业者（NP）学生设计的30小时药理学课程，作为继续教育（CE）课程提供给社区NP，以帮助他们满足新的州处方权要求。74名课程毕业生中有57人在完成课程1至4年后回复了一项调查。回复表明，大多数从事临床实践的NP确实开始开具药物治疗处方，尽管只有11人获得了处方权。在拥有硕士学位和没有硕士学位的NP之间，以及在基础研究生课程或CE课程中接受过药理学内容的NP与未接受过的NP之间，未发现药物处方模式存在差异。
