A 1008 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes visiting advanced practice nurses who are not certified by endorsement in New Jersey to engage in the limited practice of prescribing medications and devices, if they have appropriate educational qualifications.

This bill (A1008) allows visiting advanced practice nurses (APRNs) from other states - who are not certified by New Jersey endorsement - to temporarily prescribe certain medications and medical devices. It applies specifically to out-of-state APRNs who hold appropriate educational qualifications but lack New Jersey certification. The provision permits this limited prescribing authority during temporary practice in New Jersey, without requiring full state endorsement. This change aims to expand access to care for patients in need of APRN services while maintaining oversight through educational requirements.
