Congratulations to Massachusetts APRNS obtaining FPA

Posted about 3 years ago by Jean Aertker

AANP NEWS yesterday reported by President Sophia Thomas: Massachusetts has just become the 23rd state in the nation, plus the District of Columbia, Guam and the Mariana Islands, to enact Full Practice Authority for nurse practitioners (NPs)!
"With the enactment of a major health care overhaul reform bill for Massachusetts, Governor Charlie Baker and legislators in the state have brought full and direct access to NP care to Massachusetts patients. Massachusetts now joins all of the states in Region 1 in sharing the benefits of improved access to the provider of their choice.
FNPN congratulates MA NPs and supporting stakeholders who worked over 25? years to educate the public and policymakers on the need and benefits to the state.
