Can Nurse Practitioners open their own clinics? If so, in what states is it legal?

?peach? asked:
I am a Nursing student and I would eventually like to become an NP. I would like to open a small OB/GYN clinic here in NYC. I want to specialize in check-ups, screenings, pre-natal care, breast exams, etc. Living here, I can tell you that most places take about 1-2 months to get an appt. at. I was able to get an appt. before, within 2 weeks, and I paid $100 for a not-so-impressive doc’s office..let’s just say he used two fingers..slapped my knee..and said ” You’re good” in his thick italian accent. So my passion is women’s health and I feel there is a demand for it here. I’m wondering if I would be able to open my own practice.
