Rhode Island NP practice environment

Rhode Island is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Rhode Island Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Rhode Island NPs practice independently and have full prescriptive authority.

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