NPARI PREVAILS!!!!
Posted about 13 hours ago by Denise Coppa
After much testifying, letter writing, individual meetings with legislators, your government affairs committee has hit a GRAND SLAM! The bills that would have prevented nurse practitioners from working to full practice authority, by preventing their abilities to prescribe mild sedation, have not made it to a vote in neither the house, nor the senate. This essentially puts this to rest for now. We are already discussing next session. Stay tuned for that!!!! And, in the mean time, thank your legislators for protecting patient access to care.
Special thanks to Senator Pam Lauria, for her tenacity in the senate, never afraid to stick her neck out for NP practice and patient access to care, our lobbyist, Donna Policastro for her guidance, to Anne Neuville, who stepped in as president in the 11th hour, to Desirae Heys, who got the ball rolling early on and for all of the members of the government affairs committee for their support.
