Licensure and practice rules in Maine
AANP classifies Maine as a full practice state. Maine NPs may prescribe from licensure, including controlled substances in schedules II through V, but must practice for at least 24 months under the supervision of a licensed physician or a supervising NP, or be employed by a clinic or hospital whose medical director is a licensed physician, before practicing independently. A 2026 law replaces this requirement once the Board of Nursing adopts new practice standards by rule, so confirm the current requirement with the Board.
Maine is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Maine.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Maine State Board of Nursing.
CNM certification is administered by AMCB.
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.

Maine NPs may prescribe from licensure, including controlled substances in schedules II through V, but must practice for at least 24 months under the supervision of a licensed physician or a supervising NP, or be employed by a clinic or hospital whose medical director is a licensed physician, before practicing independently. A 2026 law replaces this requirement once the Board of Nursing adopts new practice standards by rule, so confirm the current requirement with the Board. The Maine State Board of Nursing publishes the current rule.
Is Maine part of the Nurse Licensure Compact?
Yes, Maine is a Nurse Licensure Compact member (verified against the live NCSBN roster, August 11, 2026).
