IMPORTANT! Misinformation being distributed by NJ Physicians re: APN practice and FPA, Please READ

Forum of Nurses in Advanced Practice

The two documents attached and body of this email is from Carolyn Torre, APN.
1. APN Response to "Access to Care" Coalition (ATCC) false facts about White Paper III
2. ATC Coalition False Facts bullet points
The ATC Coalition sent their False Facts to every NJ legislator the second week of May.
Today, Lobbyists for SPAPN, NJSNA (& FNAP) and APNs-A are sending the APN response authored by myself and Suzanne Drake, to all our bill sponsors; it will ultimately go to all legislators. 

 It is important for APNs to be armed with real facts when corresponding with or visiting legislators re. APN FPA bill(s) S1522/A2286, and the White Paper which explains the rationale for FPA with documentation.
Note that the APN response is filled with hyperlinks which can be accessed when opening doc on computer; if it is printed out, you lose access to the hyperlinks.
