What's Happening
This marks the sixth consecutive session that legislators have championed efforts to grant APRNs full practice authority. Previous iterations of this same legislation have been known as the SAVE Act.
A blinded scoring system helped determine levels of impact, with the North Carolina Foundation for Nursing’s Board of Trustees ultimately providing some aid to all 251 nurses who qualified.
There are now 26 organizations outside of the nursing profession that support Full Practice Authority for APRNs. The NC Council of Churches represents the first faith-based organization to join the effort.
