Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell , a longtime champion of NP practice writes a column in today's USA Today, " Health reform can count on nurses ." I am encouraged by this support and recognition for the thousands upon thousands of NPs , Nurse Midwives, Nurse Anesthetists, and Physician Assistants practicing and caring for patients in community, hospital and out-patient settings every day. We are not a new concept nor fad. Our practice is centered on our patients. I invite everyone to read the blogs on my NP Blogroll . You will find examples of the extreme care and commitment we give to our patients. It certainly seems as if Governor Rendell is reading. Its exciting to ponder who else may be reading as well.......
This is my blog that will highlight current issues, trends and policies affecting Nurse Practitioners and the health care system today.
