Utah Nurse Practitioner FAQs

How do I earn my Utah nurse practitioner license?

You will need a Utah or multi-state RN license, a master's degree or higher in nursing, and national certification within a particular specialty or population focus. A $135 application fee also applies. Scroll up for more information on Utah state requirements for NPs.

Can a nurse practitioner have their own practice in Utah?

A Utah NP can run their own practice. As of April 2022, Utah state legislature allows NPs to practice without a collaborative physician agreement. This only applies after an NP completes 1,000 hours of a mentorship program with a physician or an NP who has at least three years of experience.

In what states can NPs practice independently? Is Utah one of them?

Independent practice is permitted for NPs in full-practice-authority states. Prior to April 2022, Utah was a reduced-practice-authority state that restricted NP independence. However, regulations expanded NP responsibilities, allowing them to administer health care without supervision after meeting the mentorship requirements.

Are there part-time NP remote jobs in Utah?

Utah health care providers offer a range of remote, part-time NP opportunities. Some employers require that NPs fulfill certain duties or a minimum number of hours onsite every week, so keep this in mind as you apply for roles. You can find remote part-time and full-time NP jobs today at Wheel.

Are nurse practitioners in demand in Utah?

Since Utah's 2022 expansion of NP practice authority, Utah NPs are much better placed to reach remote, rural, or underserved parts of the state and address understaffing issues. The new legislation recognizes the statewide need for the increased availability of NPs.
