Is NP recognized outside of the States

suzanne4, RN · Dec 19, 2006

The NP is an Advanced Practice RN, and is recognized in some countries, depending on their requirements.

For Advanced Practice nurses wishing to work in the US as NPs, they are required to have an MSN...........and meet requirements for licensure in the US first as an RN.

Would be similar in the other countries that accepted the NP role.

not sure about the UK could always check out NMC Internet overseas section. I think there is also someone you can email and ask
