Major areas for rotations in Arizona

Phoenix metro: Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler, Glendale and Tempe make up one of the largest and fastest-growing health care markets in the Southwest.
Tucson and Southern Arizona: a university medical center, border-region community health and a large retiree population.
Flagstaff and Northern Arizona: a regional referral hospital serving a huge rural area, including tribal communities.
Yuma and Western Arizona: agricultural communities with strong demand for family practice and bilingual care.

Arizona’s many NP-owned practices mean students can often train directly with an NP preceptor, and Spanish-speaking students are especially valued in Southern Arizona and Yuma.

Arizona NP practice environment

Arizona is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Arizona State Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Arizona has granted NPs full practice authority for many years, and NPs own and run many independent practices in the state.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Arizona State Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
