  • Additional training: All nurse practitioners in Idaho must complete the same training and education, whether you work remotely or on-site. You should expect to complete regular, employer-mandated training on the intricacies of an employer’s technology and platforms. Training may also encompass other areas, including best practices for good webside manner.

  • Necessary documentation: Keep your resume, transcript, and other professional documentation updated and readily available.

Idaho Nurse Practitioner FAQs

Can a nurse practitioner have their own practice in Idaho?

The Idaho state legislature recognizes NPs as independent practitioners. As such, they are able to own and operate a practice without the oversight of a physician. They can also prescribe schedule II-IV substances, and they have the status of primary care providers.

In what states can NPs practice independently? Is Idaho one fo them?

Nurse practitioners have permission to practice without physician supervision in full-practice-authority states, and Idaho has this status. Nurse practitioners can practice independently in Idaho as long as they adhere to the Idaho Board of Nursing's rules and standards. Need to know more? Be sure to review our clinician FAQs.
