Do You Need Help Finding a Collaborating Physician in California?

Each state regulates the practice environment for its nurse practitioners (NPs). You may choose to work in a Restricted, Reduced, or Full Practice Authority (FPA) state. According to the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (2022), NPs in a FPA state may evaluate, diagnose, order, and interpret diagnostic testing, and manage the care of patients independently and exclusively under their state board of nursing without physician oversight. California is a state with restricted authority for nurse practitioners.
