Licensure and practice rules in Illinois
AANP classifies Illinois as a reduced practice state. Illinois requires NPs to have a written collaborative agreement until they obtain full practice authority, except when they practice under clinical privileges in a hospital, hospital affiliate or ambulatory surgical treatment center. Full practice authority requires a notarized attestation of at least 4,000 hours of clinical experience after first attaining national certification and at least 250 hours of continuing education or training.
Illinois is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a Illinois RN license by endorsement.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Illinois Board of Nursing.
