In 150-250 words, give a synopsis of the current level of practice and practice climate for APRNs in California.
Incorporate what you have learned from the Buppert readings, and from investigating your state BRN website.
If yours is a full practice state, discuss how your state adopted full practice authority (FPA). If your state is restricted, describe the restrictions to practice and the current political climate surrounding FPA (for example, is there any pending legislation to move to FPA?
Are there any eased regulations or expedited licensure due to Covid-19?).
Discuss major barriers to FPA in CA.
Finally, discuss how you plan to be involved in your state’s governance and/or advocacy for APRNs. Include at least two references from an official state or government website or from the BRN for your state.
