I have tried to provide a link to the nurse practice acts of all 50 states and the U.S. territories. Not all states refer to the body of regulation governing their respective Nurse Practice Acts as “Nurse Practice Act”. Delaware for example lists theirs under the title "Division of Professional Regulation". Most states use the term nurse practice act, nursing regulation, or something similar.
