Major areas for rotations in Idaho

Treasure Valley: Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell, Idaho’s largest and fastest-growing metro area.
North Idaho: Coeur d’Alene, Moscow and Lewiston, closely tied to the Spokane health market.
Eastern Idaho: Idaho Falls and Rexburg.
Southeast Idaho: Pocatello and surrounding rural communities.
Magic Valley: Twin Falls and farming communities across south-central Idaho.

Much of Idaho is designated as a health professional shortage area, so rural clinics often welcome students, and many have NP preceptors.

Idaho NP practice environment

Idaho is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Idaho Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Idaho NPs have practiced independently for many years, and many rural communities rely on NP-led clinics.

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