Advanced Practice Registered Nurses in South Carolina may gain full practice authority with certain qualifications.
This bill allows the South Carolina Board of Nursing to grant full practice authority to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who meet specific criteria. APRNs with full practice authority can independently perform medical acts without a practice agreement. To gain full practice authority, an APRN must complete 2,000 clinical hours, possess malpractice insurance, and attest compliance with these requirements to the board. APRNs without full practice authority must have a practice agreement with a physician.
