North Carolina Introduces Full Practice Authority Legislation

North Carolina Introduces Full Practice Authority Legislation
Late last week, Senate Bill 695 was filed in the North Carolina legislature to adopt the Consensus Model for NPs and other APRNs in the state and modernize other elements of the Nurse Practice Act. The measure seeks to improve health care access and health care delivery in the state. North Carolina members should watch their emails for further details. For a refresher on the Consensus Model and what Full Practice Authority brings to states that adopt it, you can read the AANP Full Practice Authority Issue Brief.
