Adds to existing law to provide verification authority to advanced practice registered nurses.
NURSES -- Adds to existing law to provide verification authority to advanced practice registered nurses.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
In 2004 the Idaho legislature passed legislation that allowed Advanced Practice Registered Nurses to practice without the supervision of a physician. However, many Idaho statutes still require a physician-only signature for documents such as signing disabled parking permits, jury exemptions, disabled hunter permits, athletic physicals, or mental health declarations. The purpose of this legislation is to provide signature authority to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses when an established provision of law within their scope of practice requires a physician's signature.
