APPLY FOR AUTONOMOUS PRACTICE NOW! |
|
|
As of July 1, the sunset clause will end, and NPs will return to the 5-year experience requirement to apply for autonomous practice licensure. NPs who have their licenses before that date will be able to retain them so if you have 2 years of experience, apply now! |

April is National Volunteer month, and we want to highlight our incredible NP volunteers. Whether you volunteer in a free clinic, as a VCNP state or regional leader or in a non-healthcare capacity, we want to celebrate how you share your free time. Please send 1-2 sentences about your volunteer experience – and a photo if you have one for use in upcoming VCNP social media posts and newsletters. |
