A. In Iowa an ARNP may practice independently within their speciality area. The Iowa Board of Nursing does not require a collaborative agreement between an ARNP and physician. It is the informal opinion of the board that the ARNP establishes professional relationships with physicians to ensure patients/clients receive quality healthcare.
