Ageless Men's Health

Nevada: Full Practice, outside the Nurse Licensure Compact. Nevada grants full practice authority to NPs, but until they have at least 2 years or 2,000 hours of clinical experience they may prescribe Schedule II controlled substances only under a protocol approved by a collaborating physician. NPs who completed their program more than 2 years before applying and have never held an APRN license must complete 1,000 hours of supervised practice without prescribing.

California: Restricted Practice, outside the Nurse Licensure Compact. California NPs generally practice under standardized procedures developed collaboratively with physicians and furnish drugs and devices under physician supervision. NPs who complete a transition to practice in California of three full-time equivalent years or 4,600 hours can be certified to practice without standardized procedures in a group setting with a physician, and usually after at least three more years in good standing, in an independent setting.

Indiana: Reduced Practice, a Nurse Licensure Compact member. Indiana NPs must practice under a collaborative agreement with a physician.

Tennessee: Restricted Practice, a Nurse Licensure Compact member. Tennessee requires physician supervision for NPs.

Arizona: Full Practice, a Nurse Licensure Compact member. Arizona grants full practice authority to NPs. After certification by the Board of Nursing, they can diagnose and treat patients, and prescribe once the Board grants prescribing and dispensing authority, all without physician supervision, a collaborative agreement or a transition period.
