Nurse Practitioners Back Bills To Increase Prescription Writing Abilities

Nurse Practitioners across the state are getting behind a new Senate bill that would give them more prescription writing privileges. 

The bill was discussed yesterday in committee and will move forward from there if there is enough support. 

Current state law requires NP's to have a doctor sign-off on all prescriptions they write. Nurse practitioners say this requirement causes delays in getting needed health care to patients.
