New Mexico NP practice environment

New Mexico is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the New Mexico Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. New Mexico has granted NPs full practice authority since the 1990s, and NPs are vital to care in the state’s rural and tribal communities.

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