Practicing as an NP in Pennsylvania
AANP classifies Pennsylvania as a reduced practice state. Pennsylvania requires a collaborative agreement for NP practice. Pennsylvania is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Pennsylvania. APRN licensure is issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Check the board's current checklist before accepting a role, because requirements and fees change. Certification for this role: national board certification through AANPCB or ANCC on the population track that matches the role.
