Practicing in Arkansas
AANP classifies Arkansas as a reduced practice state. Arkansas NPs need a collaborative practice agreement, typically with a physician, to prescribe unless they hold a certificate of full independent practice authority. 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. APRN licensure is issued by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. Check the board's current checklist before accepting a role, because requirements and fees change.
