“It is past the time to put the patient first,” according to AANP member Carol Gullo Mest, who wrote an article in support of Pennsylvania’s SB 1063. The bill would give nurse practitioners in PA full practice authority. “Granting full practice authority to nurse practitioners would result in an overall positive economic and health impact on the commonwealth through timely treatment of acute health concerns, ongoing treatment and support for chronic health conditions, fewer lost work days, fewer emergency department visits for nonurgent conditions, patient choice of a primary care provider, and improved quality of life.” bit.ly/1kqaqRK
