Primary Care Tips

- •Clarify chronic-care program support: pharmacists, care managers, social work
- •Verify collaborative agreement requirements in this state
Why Primary Care?
A panel of your own patients, followed across years, is the core of primary care.
Primary care roles post across urban FQHCs, suburban groups, and rural health clinics alike.
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 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.

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.

The Maine State Board of Nursing publishes the current rule.
