We need to pick a topic and start on the signature assignment. I have a friend that is the treasurer for the Va Nurse practitioner association. I could talk to her and use her name.
Until recently, Virginia was considered a restricted practice state regarding nurse practitioners' practice rights. Nurse practitioners/APRN were required to practice as part of a patient care team headed by a physician with a written collaboration and consultation agreement (American, 2017).
Just within the last month, Virginia's new governor Dr. Northam signed House Bill 793 allowing nurse practitioners to practice without physician over-sight after 5 years of full-time work with a collaborating physician. After the 5 years, there is a certification process. This is exciting news for Virginia's nurse practitioners and patients.
1. List and describe any non-legislative strategies that were utilized to support the initiatives
2. Describe where this policy challenge is in the legislative process and the implications for the future.
