TN Visa for ARNP (Nurse Practitioner)

Post by tkuhk87 »

Just shooting a question by you guys - currently in USA on TN-1 as an RN. Am I able to use the TN-1 Visa once I am finished my Masters for my NP to work as an NP (Advanced Practice RN)?

I'm hearing conflicting things on this. A Nurse Practitioner is just an advanced practice RN w/ a Masters degree. If I'm allowed to work as an RN on a TN-1 should I not then be able to obtain TN-1 status as an NP?

Appreciate any information. This forum is great!

Advanced registered Nurses are classified primarily under the RN classification under the Dept of labor guidlines, which the CBP typically uses for determining if your job falls under a particular NAFTA category.

Thus, you should be able to get a TN for a NP job, under the RN classification. Your employer would simply describe your job details and an APRN, and request an RN category TN.

If your question then becomes whether -- for the same employer -- you would need a new TN after you switch jobs? The answer is *probably* yes, if your salary and job description are changing substantailly. You would need a new TN for a new employer, of course.
