How many nurse practitioners can a physician supervise in Connecticut?

Question

Accepted Answer

A physician is not limited in how many nurse practitioners they can supervise in Connecticut. Connecticut law does not set a maximum number of APRNs with whom a physician may collaborate, and supervision is framed as collaboration during an APRN’s first three years of practice¹.

For the first three years after initial APRN licensure, practice must occur under a written collaborative agreement with a Connecticut-licensed physician, and the physician must be educated, trained, or experienced in the APRN’s area of practice¹. After completing three years (at least 2,000 hours) of collaborative practice, an APRN may practice independently upon providing written notice to the Department of Public Health².
