NP Full Practice Authority

Altoona, PA
The Nurse Practitioners of Central Pennsylvania

Colleagues,

At Wednesday's dinner, I was asked to send out some information on the full practice authority bill. PA NP's are encouraged to urge their representatives to ask that SB 25 being considered in the House Professional Licensure Committee to be brought out for a full vote by the State House.

The committee chair is Rep. Hickernell (R-Elizabethtown), so if you are in his district you are especially well-positioned to ask that the bill be advanced. But in any event, your own representative, from any district, can also encourage Mr. Hickernell to bring the bill forward for a full vote.
