Nurse practitioners (NPs) are clinicians who practice under specific policies and procedures in the state where they are licensed in (American Association of Nurse Practitioners [AANP], 2022b). NPS are advanced practice nurse registered nurses (APRN) that can practice in any healthcare setting (American Association of Nurse Practitioners [AANP], 2022a). For this post, I will discuss the process of becoming a licensed APRN and their scope of practice in New Jersey.
- How do you get certified and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in your state?
- What is the application process for certification in your state?

- How does your state describe a nurse practitioner’s controlled-substance prescriptive authority, and what nurse practitioner drug schedules are nurse practitioners authorized to prescribe.
