Take Action & Support Bill S1983 / A944 Eliminating Practice Restrictions for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs)
Support Bill S1983/A944 Eliminating Practice Restrictions for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs). APNs are highly trained and qualified healthcare professionals who play a crucial role in delivering primary and mental health care. Granting them full practice authority would significantly enhance their ability to serve patients independently, thereby improving healthcare access and outcomes for our citizens in New Jersey (NJ). This bill has bipartisan support in both the senate and assembly in NJ. It is time to move this bill forward and allow NJ citizens access to high quality care. Support NJ in becoming a full practice state and join the other 27 states that allow for APN full practice.
Currently, the requirement for a physician contractual agreement can lead to unnecessary delays and increased healthcare costs, which can be particularly challenging for underserved communities. By supporting Bill S1983/A944, we can empower APNs to deliver timely and cost-effective care, alleviating pressure on the overall healthcare system.
This legislation will not only help address healthcare provider shortages but also ensure that residents of NJ have the resources they need for their health and well-being.
I urge you to support this critical legislation and advocate for its passage. Your leadership and commitment to improving healthcare access in NJ are greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this important issue.
