South Dakota Overview
Working as an NP in South Dakota
South Dakota currently has 3 active nurse practitioner postings from 3 employers, with hiring concentrated in Sioux Falls. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time, Psychiatric Mental Health, and Remote. On the regulatory side, AANP places South Dakota in its full practice category. AANP uses this category where state law lets NPs evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and initiate and manage treatment, including prescribing medications and controlled substances, under the exclusive licensure authority of the state board of nursing. Some of these states first require a transition period. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the South Dakota rules themselves before applying. No median is published for South Dakota postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. South Dakota's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by South Dakota.
