New Hampshire and Bradley University's online NP tracks
In Bradley University's state table, New Hampshire is a YES for the online FNP and a NO for the PMHNP, AGACNP and AGPCNP. Only the FNP, then, points toward NP licensure in the Granite State. The state grants NPs full practice and belongs to the compact, and its board's rule for visiting schools targets programs that train new RNs.

Four columns, one YES
No footnote attaches to New Hampshire in the online nursing table Bradley links from its State Disclosures page; the answer is in the cells. The document has no date, so pull up the current copy before you commit.
| Bradley program | Answer for New Hampshire | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Family Nurse Practitioner | Meets | Your route to NP licensure here |
| Psychiatric Mental Health NP | Does not meet | Does not lead to New Hampshire licensure |
| Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP | Does not meet | Does not lead to New Hampshire licensure |
| Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP | Does not meet | Does not lead to New Hampshire licensure |
| MSN Nursing and Healthcare Leadership | Not listed | Absent from the table |
| DNP Nursing Leadership | Not listed | Absent from the table |
Because the table does not split degree levels, the FNP YES seems to cover the master's, doctoral and certificate paths alike, and each NO seems to reach every level of its specialty. Bradley does not say whether it admits New Hampshire residents to the NO tracks, so raise that with admissions before applying. For the full table, see state disclosures.
What OPLC's out-of-state rule covers
The Board of Nursing works within New Hampshire's licensing office, OPLC. For schools headquartered in other states, its rule Nur 602.15(j) lays out a paperwork trail, from a yearly petition to a form for each rotation and a signed agreement from each preceptor, plus six weeks of warning before every placement. The rule's own heading, Distance Education-Pre-Licensure, shows its target: programs that prepare new RNs.
Bradley's FNP admits only nurses with an RN license in hand. On OPLC's education page, post-licensure programs, RN-to-MSN included, fall outside what the Board regulates. Nothing there adds a separate step for visiting NP programs. A note for rule-watchers: one legal database dates the rule's expiry to January 2026, while OPLC referred to it that same January, so whether New Hampshire readopted it remains open.
Practice climate and where FNP students look
Under AANP's classification, New Hampshire NPs practice with full authority. For your own search, Bradley's 2017 webinar asked FNP students to log most hours under NPs, and the preceptor requirements page has the rest of Bradley's list.
Population clusters in the Manchester-Nashua metro, the New Hampshire towns inside greater Boston, and the Concord area. The academic medical center, Dartmouth Hitchcock, belongs to Dartmouth Health. Beyond it, look at Catholic Medical Center, an HCA Healthcare hospital, at Concord Hospital's health system, and at the pair that founded SolutionHealth, Southern New Hampshire Health and Elliot, whose boards proposed unwinding that partnership in July 2025. Think of these as a map for your own search; Bradley publishes no roster of partner sites.
Compact licensing with Maine and Vermont
Compact membership came to New Hampshire in January 2018. Make it your home state and a multistate license carries you into Maine and Vermont as well. Massachusetts signed on to the compact in November 2024, with a May 2027 target for going live; a Massachusetts site means a Massachusetts license in the meantime.
Any of those rotations is a bordering-state rotation in Bradley's terms, cleared with your academic advisor or the department chair before the semester starts. Illinois is outside the compact altogether. The RN license page sets out Bradley's rule, and the Massachusetts and Vermont guides cover those boards.
Why New Hampshire FNP students choose us
Your placement advisor maps the FNP sequence ahead of you, NUR 676 through NUR 679, and finds a preceptor for each within reach of home. We confirm every license is active and unencumbered, gather what Bradley's DocuSign packet asks for, and deliver it complete before the midterm deadline, with the next course's preceptor already in view. Tell us your town on the contact page.
Questions Bradley students ask
Can I take Bradley's PMHNP while living in New Hampshire?
Bradley's table marks its PMHNP, and both adult-gerontology tracks, as not meeting New Hampshire's education requirements, so none of them leads toward NP licensure in the state. Bradley has not said whether it enrolls New Hampshire residents in those tracks. Get admissions' answer in writing before you apply.
Must Bradley give New Hampshire six weeks' notice of my FNP rotation?
Not under the rule as written. Nur 602.15(j) speaks to pre-licensure schools from other states, and OPLC places post-licensure programs beyond its oversight. Bradley's own clock still runs: your preceptor packet is due through DocuSign by midterm of the semester before the course. The preceptor packet page has the steps.
When do New Hampshire FNP students go to Peoria?
Each October, for a two-day FNP bootcamp on Bradley's campus that must be done before NUR 679. It is the one required trip in the FNP sequence. Bradley does not post the dates publicly, so ask your academic advisor early and plan fall clinical days with your preceptor around it.
I'm entering through the RN-to-MSN bridge. Where does NUR 407 happen?
Close to home, in a community setting, for 50 practicum hours under a qualified preceptor. OPLC lists RN-to-MSN programs as outside the Board's regulation, so no New Hampshire filing attaches to it. Bradley's 2017 webinar named school nurses, health departments and occupational health among fitting settings; the NUR 407 page has more.

- Preceptors matched to the course: primary care for FNP and AGPCNP, acute care teams for AGACNP, mental health settings for PMHNP
- Preceptor license, CV, malpractice coverage and the site address ready for the packet
- Every practicum in your sequence planned together, close to home in your approved state
