Licensure and practice rules in Kentucky
AANP classifies Kentucky as a reduced practice state. Kentucky NPs need a collaborative agreement with a physician to prescribe, with separate agreements for nonscheduled legend drugs and for controlled substances. Once NPs have four years of prescribing experience, which can include prescribing in another state, they may prescribe without these agreements, though dropping the controlled substance agreement first requires a Board of Nursing good standing review.
Kentucky is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Kentucky.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the Kentucky Board of Nursing.
