Urge Your Lawmakers to Empower Advanced Practice Registered Nurses

Our Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) aren’t being used to their full potential. Under current scope-of-practice laws, they’re required to have doctor-signed collaborative agreements even though they have high quality health training.  

Removing this barrier would simply free APRNs to do the things they are already doing without the unnecessary doctor oversight.

These nurses are well-qualified to treat families. They could help with the serious healthcare provider shortage Kansas is facing if you expand their scope of practice, especially in rural areas of the state.

Please do everything you can to empower APRNs and give all Kansans, both in our few metro areas to our vast rural areas, more affordable, more accessible care.
