Or. Admin. Code § 851-055-0000

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 10, October 1, 2024

Section 851-055-0000 - Purpose of Scope and Standards of Practice

Purpose of these rules is to define the scope of practice for the group of advanced practice registered nurses collectively known as APRNs. The Board does not have legislative authority to issue licenses as an APRN, therefore the title of APRN cannot be used by licensees in lieu of their license as listed in subsection (1) of this rule. Licensees in Oregon must identify themselves to their clients and in all other aspects of their practice by their Oregon awarded license type.

(1) The Board recognizes and licenses the APRN in one of the following roles:

(a) Nurse Practitioner (NP), inclusive of NPs specializing in Certified Nurse-Midwifery.

(b) Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

(c) Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS).

(2) The Board may grant prescriptive privileges (PP) consistent with the individual's scope of practice, competency, and applicable state laws.
