Licensure and practice rules in Virginia
AANP classifies Virginia as a restricted practice state. Virginia NPs must maintain a practice agreement documenting collaboration and consultation with a patient care team physician. An NP with the equivalent of at least three years of full-time clinical experience can apply for a license designation to practice without a practice agreement.
Virginia is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Virginia.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Virginia Board of Nursing.
