RN scope of practice for allergy testing and immunotherapy varies by state. In many states, RNs can perform skin prick testing, administer immunotherapy injections, and monitor patients under physician supervision with appropriate training and standing orders. However, some states have specific restrictions on RN-administered testing. Immunotherapy injection administration is generally within RN scope in most states. Always verify your state nursing board's position on allergy testing before pursuing this specialty.
Allergy clinics, ENT practices, primary care offices, and pediatric practices hire trained allergy nurses.
RNs providing allergy services work under physician supervision with standing orders or protocols. The supervising physician determines which procedures you can perform and the level of oversight required.
Administering immunotherapy injections is a primary role for allergy RNs in most states—a rewarding responsibility with direct patient impact and regular patient relationships.
With 50 million Americans suffering from allergies and practices expanding allergy services, trained RNs are essential to meeting patient demand. Your nursing foundation—patient assessment, injection technique, emergency response—translates perfectly to allergy care. Allergy practices specifically seek RNs who can efficiently manage testing schedules and immunotherapy patients.
Allergy nursing offers an alternative to the demands of hospital nursing. Trade 12-hour shifts and holiday rotations for regular business hours and a predictable schedule. Build relationships with patients who return regularly for immunotherapy. Many nurses describe allergy nursing as a rewarding specialty that allows them to truly connect with patients over time.
