Colorado NP practice environment

Colorado is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Colorado Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Newly licensed Colorado NPs complete a period of mentored prescribing under provisional prescriptive authority before receiving full prescriptive authority.

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