APRN Licensing Update

January 15, 2015

The interim method of APRN licensure verification is the pdf. document titled APRN Licensure Summary Report. APRN information is no longer available on the RN and LPN verification page. Discipline reports are found only on the RN and LPN licensure verification page at this time. The Board will be revising this in the future.

The following information in the RN and LPN verification page is not an accurate representation of an APRN license status.

At this time the only way to verify an APRN license is to go to the APRN Licensure Summary Report that looks like this:

Either an APRN license number or *IAP* means the individual is authorized to practice as an APRN in Minnesota.

The APRN whose status is listed as *IAP* is an individual who:

• The Board has received an acceptable Application for APRN Licensure and correct fee by 4:30 p.m. December 31, 2014
• Holds a current Minnesota RN License
• Holds current certification issued by a national nursing certification organization acceptable to the Board in the APRN role for which the individual is applying
• Has been registered and listed on the Minnesota APRN Registry as of July 1, 2014
• Submits or causes to be submitted all supporting documentation to the Board by 4:30 p.m. January 30, 2015

The Board will continue to process licensure applications and update the APRN verification report on the website daily Monday through Saturday. As the licensure process is completed the *IAP* status will convert to an APRN license number. Eligibility for the *IAP* status expires March 1, 2015.
