Editor's Notes
- 2014 DNP ---75% of NPs in Family Practice
- Clinical hours are one on one supervised one on one residency in different populations such as pediatrics womens health Family practice etc.
- This development builds on the Registered nurses previous experience of assessing and treating patients.
- Wouldn’t use the word limited, would probably use “specific to education” When speaking add that Renewal requires 1000 minimum practice hours, along with 24 h for the RN renewal and 6 hours of pharmacy CE
- Service: add health management - expound on diagnostic tests “such as xray and blood test” Add “current” to scope of practice
- Emphasis the research is country wide and from other disciplines and organizations as well as nursing research
- Add the number of years we have had a shortage Add regarding RESTRICTIVE practice environment Add a third sub bullet and state the number of NPs in the state has not significantly grown over the past three years desspite graduation hundreds from the nursing schools in the state due to the attrition
- May want to state collaborative practice is limited to the equivalent of 3 full time NPs per Physician and qualify that collaboration is required with only with only 10% of our patients.
- Creating reimbursement issues and restraint of trade Chart audits are beneficial if the physician and NP are utilizing them to improve quality - (maybe just place 10% on site rule and then discuss it, wouldn’t want this to get taken out of context later
- Discuss our training, undergraduate pharmacology and incorporated into every diagnosis State when bill passes, rules and regulations would require and additional course on current medication scheduled prescribing pit-falls and updates.
- Explain Schedule 2 medications are specifically needed for pediatric patients (ADD) so they can pay attention and do well in school and for end of life medications for pain relief for terminally ill patients History includes 4 years of attempting to have legislators at the least hold a fair public hearing to look at these issues> These items were all reference in Dr. Bentley Task for report from 2004 which recommended increased of nurse practitioners to provide primary care to decrease chronic illness
- WE ARE Not: Asking to be physicians Asking to practice without collaboration Asking for privileges we have not been trained and nationally certified in WE ARE Asking to remove restrictive barriers that prevent access to care, Asking to decrease the amount of time our patients are in pain Promoting wellness and addressing preventative care Certified, Educated and trained to provide primary care The patients of Alabama deserve access to care, the best care we can give
