HB 2298 (APRNs) and HB 2584 (PAs), both 2025 and effective Nov. 1, 2025, created new hours-based independent-practice pathways in a state with no prior pathway for either. Being this recent, secondary sources conflict on whether a 6-provider physician-ratio cap (OAC 435:10-13-2) still applies post-reform — flagged per-provider below rather than guessed. Oklahoma has no corporate-practice-of-medicine doctrine (Okla. A.G. Op. 77-168).
Registered Nurse
RNs (general licensure, not an APRN) are not subject to physician-supervision or collaborative-agreement requirements in Oklahoma; RN practice is governed by the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act without a physician-oversight gate.

Prescriptive authority
Covered by practice agreement · no controlled-substance authority
RNs do not have independent prescriptive authority in Oklahoma; they administer medications only under a valid order from an authorized prescriber.Practice ownership (CPOM)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — Same as the general CPOM note above — Oklahoma has no CPOM doctrine; an RN may own non-clinical or clinical-adjacent businesses without a physician-ownership restriction.
Even where an RN performs delegated medical-aesthetic procedures, Oklahoma's lack of a corporate-practice doctrine means entity ownership itself is not the gating issue; clinical delegation authority is a separate question.Supervision ratio
