South Carolina H3580 amends the state code to allow the Board of Nursing to grant full practice authority to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses.

South Carolina H3580 amends the state code to allow the Board of Nursing to grant full practice authority to APRNs who meet certain criteria. This includes completing 2,000 clinical hours in advanced practice nursing, possessing malpractice insurance, and attesting compliance with the board. APRNs with full practice authority can independently perform medical acts without a practice agreement. The bill also revises the definition of "full practice authority" and makes conforming changes to various sections of the South Carolina Code.
