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.
