Healthcare Jobs in Indiana

No. IC 25-23-1-19.4 says an advanced practice registered nurse shall operate in collaboration with a licensed practitioner as evidenced by a practice agreement, or by privileges granted by the governing board of a hospital. Each of those routes runs through somebody else's authority. Who signs the agreement, and how close they work to you, is a question for the employer on the Indiana nurse practitioner page.

Indiana puts a number on it. The nurse submits documentation of their own prescribing practices to the licensed practitioner within 7 days, and that documentation has to include at least a five percent (5%) random sampling of the charts and the medications prescribed for patients. The duty to submit runs with each prescribing agreement the nurse holds.

It does. Indiana's qualified medication aide training runs 100 hours, against the 75 hours of the nurse aide credential it builds on. Indiana calls the credential a QMA, its own name for the kind of paper other states issue to a medication aide.
