Indicator 3: State Practice Environment
IOM Recommendation:
Advanced practice registered nurses should be
able to practice to the
full extent of their
education & training
Nurse practice laws and regulations are specific to
each state. Check out American Association of
Nurse Practitioner’s quick reference guide below
for licensure and regulatory requirements, as well
as practice environment details, for all 50 states
and the U.S. Territories.
Full Practice: State practice and
licensure law provides for nurse
practitioners (NP) to evaluate patients,
diagnose, order and interpret
diagnostic tests, initiate and manage
treatments—including prescribing
medications—under the exclusive
licensure authority of the state board
of nursing. This is the model
recommended by the Institute of
Medicine and National Council of
State Boards of Nursing.
Reduced Practice: State practice
and licensure law reduces the ability of
NP to engage in at least one element
of NP practice. State requires a
regulated collaborative agreement with
an outside health discipline in order for
the NP to provide patient care.
Restricted Practice: State practice
and licensure law restricts the ability of
a NP to engage in at least one
element of NP practice. State requires
supervision, delegation, or
team-management by an outside
health discipline in order for the NP to
provide patient care.
