More of these walls need to come down to help improve access to care for many Americans. Unfortunatly, the AMA is a powerful organization with a lot of money that is holding up a lot of legislation that would promote NP independence.FastandEasyHealthhttp://www.fastandeasyhealth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011144937808023981.post-36419375962882092052010-10-10T15:01:04.872-04:002010-10-10T15:01:04.872-04:00I am an NP in the South who recently opened a fami...I am an NP in the South who recently opened a family practice clinic. I agree that restrictive, archaic barriers such as collaborative practice agreements must be removed, so that we can max out our full potential as primary care providers. As it is now, NPs in most states cannot practice if they do not have a collaborative practice agreement w/ a physician. The 2 disciplines can collaborate and work together without an archaic collaborative practice agreement in place. Asking for all Legislators to support Nurse Practitioners and REMOVE restrictive collaborative practice agreements. If an NP cannot find a physician to sign her/his collaborative practice agreement, then she/he cannot work as a Nurse Practitioner which may force him/her to unemployment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011144937808023981.post-43670762086304474872010-10-07T01:53:04.346-04:002010-10-07T01:53:04.346-04:00As an NP student I hope some of these laws are cha...As an NP student I hope some of these laws are changed by the time I graduate.
