Legal ?probably not.
But it has not stopped the Junkies
Nurse Jackie may be the only exception

I think that you would probably have to sit the board test before you're able to give injections.

If you work in a private doc's office, you can pretty much do anything he/she teaches you because the legal liability is ENTIRELY the doc's. you don't even need to have gone through a training course. This is NOT the case however in a hospital type clinic. It may be the case in a group practice clinic tho, as again the legal liabilities are different. In the two states I work in (CA & MD) you do not need the certification to work and do whatever you are trained to do, including injections.
