Hello,Today, the nurse practitioners lobby is holding a rally at the capitol to support two bills that would allow NPs to practice without physician collaboration. PAMED opposes these bills (House Bill 765, Senate Bill 717) and today is releasing results from a patient poll that says nearly 8 out of 10 Pennsylvanians would not support NP independent practice.
