Why Primary Care?
A panel of your own patients, followed across years, is the core of primary care.

Ask whether a site holds an active NHSC approval and whether the employer qualifies for PSLF. Both depend on the specific site.

Licensure and practice rules in Alabama
AANP classifies Alabama as a reduced practice state. Alabama requires NPs to practice under a collaborative practice agreement with a physician. For NPs with less than two years (4,000 hours) of collaborative practice experience since initial certification or in the collaborating physician's specialty, the collaborating physician or an approved covering physician must be present for at least 10 percent of scheduled hours, although certain settings and limited protocols are exempt.
Alabama is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Alabama.
