Yesterday, Kim Krisberg reported on AARP.com that Texas nurse practitioners have made multiple legislative attempts to expand their scope of practice and treat the medically undeserved to no avail. Ms. Krisberg quoted Amanda Fredriksen, director of advocacy at AARP Texas, as stating, "We think that allowing advanced practice registered nurses to practice to the full extent of their training would help address that. We've got this whole cadre of health care professionals that we're not making the best use of".
The viewpoints expressed by Ms. Krisberg's article align with recommendations made by the IOM's Initiative on the Future of Nursing committee's report: "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health."
