Licensure and practice rules in Nevada
AANP classifies Nevada as a full practice state. Nevada grants full practice authority to NPs, but until they have at least 2 years or 2,000 hours of clinical experience they may prescribe Schedule II controlled substances only under a protocol approved by a collaborating physician. NPs who completed their program more than 2 years before applying and have never held an APRN license must complete 1,000 hours of supervised practice without prescribing.
Nevada is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a Nevada RN license by endorsement.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Nevada State Board of Nursing.
