Advanced Practice Nurses with authority to prescribe C-III thru C-V controlled substances can prescribe up to 30 days supply. The 30 days supply may be a combination of the initial fill and a number of refills which adds up to the 30 days supply. For example, a prescription for a 10 day supply could have up to 2 refills which would equal a 30 days supply.
