In a hospital, can a nurse practitioner prescribe birth control?

In a hospital, can a nurse practitioner prescribe birth control?
Yes. They are given a DEA number just like physicians and therefore can perscribe medications.
NPs can diagnose, treat, evaluate and managing a patient's illness and provide much the same care as a physician would.
It depends on the hospital policy regarding NPs writing Rx. If hospital policy allows it then yes... but in my area most hospitals don't allow NPs to write prescriptions.
not legally....
Yes they can, but you may also be required to update your Pap Smear/Pelvic Exam before getting your next supply. This has been my experience.
