Bill overview
This bill eliminates certain practice restrictions for advanced practice nurses (APNs) in New Jersey. It aims to expand access to healthcare by allowing APNs to provide a broader range of services, including diagnosing, monitoring, and prescribing medications, without always requiring direct collaboration with a physician. The bill builds on temporary executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic and seeks to establish more permanent changes to improve healthcare access, particularly in underserved areas. It also updates the state’s nursing practice act to reflect these changes.
