Practicing as an NP in Colorado
AANP classifies Colorado as a full practice state. Colorado NPs can practice independently and prescribe medications, including controlled substances. NPs new to prescribing first receive provisional prescriptive authority and must complete a 750 hour prescribing mentorship with a physician or an advanced practice registered nurse who has full prescriptive authority within three years to earn full prescriptive authority. Colorado is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Colorado. APRN licensure is issued by the Colorado 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.
