Connecticut NP practice environment

Connecticut is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Connecticut NPs must practice in collaboration with a physician for their first three years and 2,000 hours before practicing independently.

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