Advanced Practice Registered Nurses - Certification Requirement and Exceptions

This bill requires individuals to be certified as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses before they can practice in Maryland, with specific exceptions for students, federal employees, and temporary visitors. The law also outlines conditions under which nurses can practice while waiting for licensure results or during disaster responses, and it updates provisions regarding multistate nursing licenses. By establishing these certification and licensing standards, the legislation aims to regulate the practice of advanced nursing roles within the state.
