A 5068 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 allows visiting advanced practice nurses who are not currently certified in New Jersey to prescribe certain medications and devices if they meet specific educational requirements. The law aims to expand prescribing authority for these out-of-state professionals under limited conditions without requiring them to obtain full New Jersey licensure. By amending existing nursing statutes, the legislation clarifies the scope of practice for visiting nurses while maintaining oversight through educational qualifications.
