RSA 326-B:11 grants APRNs practice authority in their own right — advanced assessment, diagnosis, and 'plenary authority' to prescribe — with no physician supervision or collaboration agreement.
New Hampshire grants APRNs practice authority in their own right — advanced assessment, diagnosis, and what RSA 326-B:11 calls plenary authority to prescribe. The physician-oversight ties came out in the chapter’s late-2000s overhaul, and the duty that remains is clinical, not structural: consult, collaborate, or refer when the patient’s condition calls for it.
The requirement
none — independence at licensure
The moment it attaches
automatic — attaches at initial APRN licensure
The timeline
APRN chapter recodified 2005; remaining physician-oversight ties removed by 2008-2009 amendments
The statute
Other platforms would show a testimonial here. Gale has no New Hampshire NPs to quote, and we do not invent people — so here is the dated, sourced fact instead.
New Hampshire's statute reaches for the word 'plenary' — RSA 326-B:11 gives APRNs 'plenary authority to possess, compound, prescribe, administer, and dispense' drugs, language dating from the chapter's late-2000s overhaul.
N.H. RSA 326-B:11
Full scope: advanced assessment, diagnosing, prescribing, administering and dispensing controlled (including Schedule II-IV via telemedicine, with at least annual in-person or clinically appropriate follow-up) and non-controlled drugs. Statutory duty to consult, collaborate, or refer is triggered by clinical need, not by a mandatory physician relationship.

Opening with the founding cohort
No physician attached means no standing invoice between you and your own practice — the economics of independence here are unusually legible. What Gale adds is built to read the same way.
The deepest state cluster we have built is California’s — eight guides on the 103/104 ladder, cited to the statute and the board’s own filings. They are California’s rules, not New Hampshire’s; the same treatment is coming state by state. Until then, they show the depth of homework to expect from us.
