* County of location reflects the licensee's primary
mailing address on record with the State Education Department.
This address may either be the licensee's home or practice
address. Licensees must be registered in order to practice within
New York State; being registered, however, does not necessarily
mean the licensee is actively engaged in practice.
** An RN may hold certification in more than one specialty.
All nurse practitioners must also maintain current registration
of their registered professional nurse license.
