Does anyone know where I can find an up-to-date list of states that can independently own their own practice? The only one I can find is from 2008. (Thanks in advance)

The definitive resource is the Pearson Report which is no longer available to read online for free as it now requires an annual subscription. The most recent article I found that addresses the progress towards independent practice for NP's is in this NEJM article from last year: MMS: Error
The original version of the map in the article came from this website: http://championnursing.org/sites/default/files/aprnmap.6.11.branded.pdf
Thank you very much! I'm just working on my ADN program so hopefully more states will let NPs have complete independence by the time I graduate. (I think they will)
