Registered Nurse @SenatorCollett praises the work of nurses and their continued efforts to use their voices to speak up for important, beneficial legislation.

Senate Bill 25 - which is co sponsored by @SenLisaBoscola would expand access to high-quality health care by removing archaic restrictions on APRNs that no longer reflect modern medicine and the delivery of health care.

We join @SenatorCollett in the PA Rotunda to hear about modernizing laws related to Nurse Practitioners.

Full practice authority is reshaping healthcare access across the U.S.
When APRNs can practice independently, clinics expand faster, patients receive care sooner, and telehealth becomes more scalable.

Nurses may provide hospital care on par with physicians.
A meta-analysis of 80 studies (28K+ patients) found little to no difference in safety or mortality, supporting nurse substitution amid physician shortages.

Wisconsin now joins nearly 30 other states – including Minnesota and Iowa – that have passed policies similar to the APRN Modernization Act. wkow.com/news/governor-evers…

As the shortage of primary care physicians grows, more injured workers are receiving initial care from advanced practitioners—nurse practitioners and physician assistants. A new @WCRI study asks a timely question: Does it make a difference? Learn more: buff.ly/MNiGSPz.

Nurse practitioners bring clear value to patients—but what about to healthcare organizations? This new systematic review looks at the economic impact of NPs & why building a stronger business case matters. Read doi.org/10.62116/NEC.2025.43…

What happens when there aren’t enough #geriatricians to go around?
#NursePractitioners like Stephanie Johnson step up—pregnant, overbooked, and still making time for 8 home visits a day.

Your patient has waited 4 weeks for a 15-minute visit, and you’re double-booked and distracted. As physician shortages collide with rising demand, wait times have increased, and appointment delays are the norm, not the exception. Patients are frustrated, and physicians are overwhelmed. According to a new survey conducted by AMN Healthcare, the average physician appointment wait time in 15 major metropolitan areas has increased by 19% since the survey was last conducted in 2022. ms.spr.ly/6018SxzDK

SB25 and HB739 would allow certified nurse practitioners to serve and treat more residents, reach patients in underserved areas and expand access to high-quality health care in urban, rural, and suburban areas of PA.

Great to meet with some advocates for #SenateBill25 at the Capitol — it’s time to pass Full Practice Authority for Pennsylvania’s Nurse Practitioners and modernize our state’s nursing law.

DHS Secretary Val Arkoosh and I spoke last week about ways to increase the access to health care in our community.
That includes proposals to support assisted living, using Medicaid funds for housing costs, & full practice authority for our nurse practitioners!

A bright spot in this address: the call to finally unleash the expertise of Pennsylvania's nurse practitioners. 2025 is the year we pass full practice authority for NPs. @PASenateGOP & @PaHouseDems, let's get this on the calendar! 👏
@AFPPennsylvania is ready to get to work!

.@GovernorShapiro is right – it’s time to pass full practice authority for our Nurse Practitioners, who have the education, skills +training to care for their patients. We need to unleash the full potential of our workforce and make sure patients can access vital services.
PA Coalition of NPs retweeted
It’s time to give full practice authority to highly-educated, highly qualified nurse practitioners who work under a licensed physician for at least three years.
This is smart — and it’s already passed. The State Senate passed it last year on a bipartisan basis.
Pass it again, send it to the House, and let’s get it to my desk.

Studies show positive outcomes for nurse practitioner care compared with physicians, in a variety of clinical settings. Of unique interest is the relationship of nurse practitioner level of practice authority (NP-LPA) and population health. – at Frisco, TX
