Congratulations to Nebraska NPS! Our newest FPA State

Posted about 9 years ago by Jean Aertker

Today Nebraska retires their long time requirement that nurse practitioners maintain career-long "collaborative agreements" with physicians as a condition of nurse practitioner practice, a mandate that had created obstacles and delayed patient care. They are now the 20th state in the nation, plus the District of Columbia, with Full Practice Authority for NPs. Hooray to Governor Ricketts and the Nebraska Senate for passing Legislative Bill 107, which grants full-practice authority to Nebraska's nurse practitioner workforce. The pasage today of this bill makes right last year's veto of the NP bill by the former Nebraska governor. His veto on the last day of the 2014 legislative session prevented Nebraska lawmakers from overriding his veto after they unanimously voted to adopt the legislation. The Legislature supported the NPs again!
