Autonomous practice for all APRNs, will increase access to care in Florida. This does not mean NP's would not consult with physicians on patient care, it just lifts many of the requirements of supervision.
I encourage all APRNs to educate their legislators as well as the public regaurding this topic.
Agree with above...use the quote from the IoM report '.....APRNs be allowed to practice to the full extent of their education.....'
The nickel & diming of tasks takes forever & gets us nowhere.
Regretfully nurses have never spoken with one voice.
Look at the big picture, as I did with CS. I didn't care in the beginning. I didn't have narcotics on my protocol because my practice was part-time (faculty practice). If a client was that sick, I referred to appropriate hlth care provider.
Then I took the blinders off & supported, both in person & with $$$ for many years getting CS privileges for APRNs.
One voice....please!
Never thought it would happen in my lifetime.
This is an excellent topic which is needed in Florida for us to advance our practice
