Editorial Urges Lawmakers To Expand Nurse Practitioners’ Scope of Practice To Boost Access to Care
"Removing barriers to nurse practitioners providing care and patient services would give more Californians access to health care while controlling costs," a San Francisco Chronicle editorial argues. The editorial touts a bill (SB 323) introduced by Sen. Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) that would allow nurse practitioners to practice without direct supervision of a physician in certain settings.
