Nursing Licensure in Minnesota

he American Association of Nurse Practitioners classifies Minnesota as a full practice authority state.

This means that state law and rule does not impede on the ability of an NP to practice to the full extent of their education or training, nor is there a legal requirement for physician supervision, delegation, or team management as a condition for providing direct patient care.
