NP Full Practice Authority Bill has been filed! SB911

Please take a quick minute and send a THANK YOU email to our bill sponsors!

cesar.blanco@senate.texas.gov  (our own Christy Blanco's cousin!)

angela.paxton@senate.texas.gov  (our local SD 8 Senator!!)

bob.hall@senate.texas.gov  (SD 2-Rockwall and east)

mayes.middleton@senate.texas.gov  (co-sponsored our bill last session, south Texas)

I've read the bill and here are the main terms:

-3,000 work hours in the past 5 years to obtain APRN licensure

-40 hours of CE every 2 years, with 10 of the hours in pharmacology

-Schedule II unchanged (there is a separate bill filed for that)

I'm feeling the MOST optimistic as I have in the past 34 years as FNP in this state :)
