Starting Jan 1^st , 2015 all Advanced Practice Nurses in Minnesota will be fully independent and will be required to have 2 licenses in Minnesota.  They will need a current RN license and an APRN license.  There will be no exceptions and no option to continue with a collaborative agreement.  That category of practice is no longer valid.  Check out the following link for more information:
