Push To Increase To 30 The Number of States Allowing Nurses To Practice Without Physician Supervision
Nurses Can Practice Without Physician Supervision In Many States by N.C. Alzenman. Washington Post. March, 24, 2013.
The need for more primary care in light of the Affordable Care Act is inspiring nurses and their supporters to lobby for broad authority to work outside the supervision of a doctor. At present there are 6,000 nurse-operated independent care practices. Allowing nurses more authority could go a long way to meet the increasing demand with the implementation of Obamacare. Physicians, emphasizing the differences in training, oppose the lobbying efforts in state capitals.
