NICA is pleased to share an important clarification from the Louisiana State Board of Nursing regarding the definition of “compounding” for infusion providers. In their 2023 Examiner, the Board stated that “RNs and APRNs in Louisiana are prohibited from compounding or otherwise mixing drugs, including IV substances and solutions, in non-emergent/non-life-threatening circumstances.” This language caused some confusion among providers accustomed to having infusion nurses prepare medications in accordance with manufacturers’ FDA-approved labeling.
