As you are aware, the scope of practice for Nurse Practitioners differs from state to state, and sometimes even organization to organization, so it is important for you to know and understand the independence you will have in this particular job and be able to explain that to your interviewer. Whether your experience in the state enables you to talk openly about your scope of practice or you need to research further before the interview, talk about your understanding of the procedures and actions that you will be permitted to do in this role and which procedures and actions will require physician supervision. Don't hesitate to talk about your past experiences in working under this same scope of practice.

"Having practiced in California for my entire career, I am very familiar with the fact that I would require a standardized procedure in place with my supervising position if I were to join your team. I am also well educated on the Schedule II and Schedule III drugs that would require sign-off by the physician. I am very comfortable in this scope of practice."

"As I've been researching opportunities in Colorado, I've become familiar with both the practice and prescriptive authority I would have with your organization. I look forward to obtaining the 1,000 hours of documented experience to be able to obtain full prescriptive privileges in the state and with your organization."

"I understand that I would be continuing in the same collaborative relationship with a physician in this department, and this is very similar to the working relationship I have in my current practice. I have completed the pharmacology educational requirements to be able to prescribe to patients. If I were hired at your organization, are there any additional scope of practice limitations that I may face in this practice?"
