New York NP practice environment

Under New York’s Nurse Practitioner Modernization Act, NPs with more than 3,600 hours of practice can practice without a written collaborative agreement with a physician. That independence was extended through July 1, 2030; newer NPs still practice under a collaborative agreement.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
