Depends on the state. Prescriptive authority is different in each of them. If I returned to my home state I could get it. In GA it is based on your area of specialty. And besides doctors are married to their jobs, becoming a NP ensures you will remain married to your husband. And besides, it is more than 2 more years, a lot more.
