What’s New!!!

Update provided by and according to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN):

With the passage of HB 2298, which is effective November 1, 2025, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (Certified Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Certified Nurse Midwives) who have completed 6,240 clinical practice hours with prescriptive authority supervised by a physician and who meet other requirements established in the legislation, will be eligible to apply for independent prescriptive authority recognition. They are working to update procedures, forms, rules, and policies to implement this change.

The OBN recommends that all APRNs monitor their email, the Oklahoma Board of Nursing website (Oklahoma Board of Nursing), and the Oklahoma Board of Nursing newsletter, as they will provide updated information and detailed steps regarding the application process.
