West Virginia NP practice environment

West Virginia 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. West Virginia NPs prescribe under a collaborative relationship with a physician during their early years of practice, with some prescribing limits after that.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the West Virginia Board of Registered Professional Nurses and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
