Hi, just want your ideas/clarification if a registered nurse in Australia can do Skin Biopsy? I heard in other countries, they allow RN to do skin biopsy. But what about here in Australia, is skin biopsy included in the professional scope of practice of a registered nurse?

I don't believe so. RN's may be able to do further study after their Nursing degree to do so, but as an RN straight from uni I have not heard of this occurring.
