In 2023, California passed a law where advanced nurse practitioners will no longer require a supervising doctor to prescribe or own a medical practice. That means your favorite nurse will be able to provide you the best possible medical services without the stress of having a supervising doctor above them. We expect this to be a game changer in the field of medicine. for any nurses looking to obtain this information, we will drop the weblink to the California board of medicine for registered nurses for you.

Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse
Pursuant to Insurance Code Section 10176, the BRN maintains a listing of registered nurses who possess a master’s degree in psychiatric/mental health nursing plus two years of supervised experience providing services as a psychiatric/mental health nurse and who have applied to the BRN to be listed. This voluntary listing enables the certificate holder to receive direct reimbursement from insurance carriers for counseling services.
There are two methods to qualify for listing as a psychiatric/mental health nurse with the BRN. General reporting of prior disciplines are required for both methods.
