Licensure and practice rules in Michigan
AANP classifies Michigan as a restricted practice state. Michigan NPs may prescribe nonscheduled prescription drugs on their own authority, but may prescribe controlled substances in schedules 2 to 5 only as a delegated act of a physician under the physician's written authorization.
Michigan is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a Michigan RN license by endorsement.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Michigan Board of Nursing.
