Major areas for rotations in Louisiana

New Orleans: the state’s largest medical center, with several academic health systems.
Baton Rouge: the capital and a major regional hospital market.
Acadiana: Lafayette and surrounding parishes.
Shreveport–Bossier City: an academic medical center serving North Louisiana and the Ark-La-Tex region.
Lake Charles and Monroe: regional hubs for Southwest and Northeast Louisiana.

Louisiana’s rural parishes have significant primary care shortages, and community health centers are often open to precepting students.

Louisiana NP practice environment

Louisiana 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. Louisiana NPs practice under a collaborative practice agreement with a physician, which covers prescribing.

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