California NP salary guide

Restricted Practice

Licensure and practice rules in California

AANP classifies California as a restricted practice state. 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.

California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a California RN license by endorsement.

Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the California Board of Registered Nursing.

Sources: AANP State Practice Environment (practice authority); NCSBN Nurse Licensure Compact roster (verified August 11, 2026). Counts come from live listings on this board, recounted November 14, 2026.

Is California part of the Nurse Licensure Compact?

No, California is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member (verified against the live NCSBN roster, August 11, 2026). Even with a multistate RN license from a compact state, you need a California-issued RN license (by endorsement) plus CA APRN licensure to practice as an NP there.
