As an Emergency Management Coordinator in a rural part of the state, I am priviledged to serve many disadvanted people in our local area. With a growing population and more needs than available providers, it is crucial to utilize our current resources to their maximum ability. There are many opportunities to serve and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) could work to their full potential with the changes proposed in this petition.
I support this petition to recognize and grant licensure to CNSs in the state of Virginia.
