PPP Legislative Alert: CALIFORNIA AB890 would give INDEPENDENT PRACTICE TO NURSE PRACTITIONERS

Help us KEEP THE TEAM in healthcare!

• Nurse Practitioners in California are trying to legislate themselves the right to practice independently of physicians.  We believe every patient deserves physician-led care, and we believe that physician education is long and rigorous for a reason.  AB890 would allow NPs to practice any specialty alone and order and INTERPRET IMAGING studies.
• PPP has identified 4 major talking points regarding AB890.
