Hi, I'm an RN and have worked in a hospital for years. Nurses aides cannot adminster medication. Only and LPN or RN. They just don't have the education for it. You must be licensed.

There are "nurses aides" and that's what they are called, but I don't think they are allowed to dispense medication. You have to be at least an LPN for that and in some states, you must be an RN to use the med cart.

Only a licensed nurse can dispense medication to a patient. Must have either a LPN,LVN,or RN to handle a patients medication.
