State Regulations for APRN Prescribers in Nevada

The State of Nevada is among one of the most eminent jurisdictions with robust regulations informing the scope of practice for advanced practice registered nurses (APRN). State licensing and practice laws in Nevada are informed by a framework which allows nurse practitioners to review patients, make an informed diagnosis, order and deduce diagnostic tests in addition to prescribing appropriate medications and controlled substances. This is made possible by the presence of the Nevada State Board of Nursing (NSBON); the result of a model endorsed by the National Academy of Medicine (National Academies of Sciences and Medicine et al., 2016).
