Approval comes before any medical act

The Board of Nursing's rules in 21 NCAC 36 put the paperwork first. Among the things they require prior to the performance of any medical acts is a collaborative practice agreement with a primary supervising physician, and a nurse practitioner shall not practice until notification of approval to practice is received from the Board of Nursing after both Boards have approved the application. The agreement itself stays at the practice site; it is not submitted.

Your questions about healthcare jobs in North Carolina, answered

What happens to my approval if the collaborative practice agreement ends?

It ends when the agreement does. North Carolina ties approval to practice to a named primary supervising physician, so a nurse practitioner who leaves that collaborative practice agreement loses the approval to practice that rested on it. A new post takes a new agreement and a fresh approval from both boards before the medical acts resume, so it belongs in the questions you ask about any North Carolina nurse practitioner job.

Who issues what for a North Carolina nurse aide?

The registry is the health department's, and the Board of Nursing approves the medication aide training course. An aide who goes on to pass medications therefore holds a listing from one agency and a course approved by another, which is why a question about eligibility can get two different answers depending on who you ask.

Does my medication aide listing work in an adult care home?

It doesn't, and the state says so in as many words: listing on the North Carolina Medication Aide Registry for Nursing Homes does not qualify an individual to administer medications in an Adult Care facility. The registry that lists you says as much in its own name: it is the registry for nursing homes.
