registered nursing, who will directly supervise the nurse practitioner
graduate; and
(5) Paid all
fees.
B. If a certified
nurse practitioner is not available in the graduate's practice setting, as
required in §A(4) of this regulation, a physician may provide this direct
supervision if the nurse practitioner graduate provides the Board with the name

license to practice registered nursing or a multistate licensure privilege to
practice registered nursing, with whom the nurse practitioner graduate has
regular consultation.
