Licensure and practice rules in Arkansas
AANP classifies Arkansas as a reduced practice state.

An NP can apply for that certificate after 6,240 hours of practice under an agreement with a physician or with prescriptive authority in another jurisdiction.
Arkansas is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Arkansas.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Arkansas State Board of Nursing.
