In Wisconsin, the process for Nurse Practitioners (NPs) entering collaborative relationships with physicians is not very clearly documented, likely due to the simplicity of the relevant laws. To aid NPs in formalizing these agreements, the Wisconsin Chapter of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) provides a template for a Wisconsin Nurse Practitioner Collaborative Agreement. This template is publicly accessible and has been reviewed and accepted by the Wisconsin Board of Nursing. NPs are encouraged to use and modify the template as needed to suit their specific circumstances.
The template is accessible at here.
