Valentina asked:

This fall I’m starting school to eventually become a NP.. After receiving my license I would like to open my own practice, specially a clinic similar to planned parenthood where ppl can get std test and womens health/ and or pediactrics..

What states can a nurse practitioner open a practice, esp in California??

Thanks in advance.

In Cal, no. Once you are into NP school, think about this then –when you can see what shape the medical community is in & what are the rules & regs are. Very very few NPs actually open a multispecialty solo clinic due to costs, malpractice, coverage issues & other logistics. You can always be in a collaborative practice with a multi-specialty group.

You can not you need to work under a DR’s license in most states however what you really need to look into is how much is your malpractice insurance (hence why most Nurse Practitioners work in large clusters) I live in Illinois and the malpractice for a NP/midwife and or OBGYN is outrageous. Therefore they leave to another state or work for a hospital and get salary pay
