Proposed State Legislation Would Allow More Nurses to See More Patients

Friday, July 30th, 2021 -- 8:09 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) -Proposed state legislation would allow more nurses see more patients in Wisconsin.

A Senate committee listened to hours of testimony Wednesday on a bill to give advanced practice nurses more freedom and more authority. The idea is to allow A-P-R-N’s to work without the direct supervision of a doctor.

The bill also proposes letting A-P-R-N’s prescribe medicine. Nurses say it would give people more healthcare options. Doctor’s groups worry it might push physicians aside.
