Major areas for rotations in Kentucky

Louisville: the state’s largest city, with an academic health system and many specialty practices.
Lexington and the Bluegrass: a second academic medical center and a growing outpatient network.
Northern Kentucky: Covington and Florence, part of the Cincinnati health market.
Bowling Green and South Central Kentucky: a regional hub with growing primary care demand.

Eastern Kentucky has a strong need for primary care and behavioral health, making it a meaningful setting for FNP and PMHNP students.

Kentucky NP practice environment

Kentucky is classified as a reduced practice state by AANP, which means NPs need a regulated collaborative agreement with a physician for at least one element of practice, most often prescribing. Kentucky NPs need a collaborative agreement with a physician to prescribe controlled substances (the CAPA-CS). Experienced NPs can prescribe non-controlled drugs without a collaborative agreement.

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