As the President of the Virginia Council Of Nurse Practitioners, Northern Virginia Region, I represent over 300 member NPs. We are excited to now have an opportunity in Virginia to transition to practice for which we have been trained and certified. Here are some concepts to consider as you enact regulations to implement the bill.
[ ] Patient care team physician has served with the NP pursuant on a practice agreement
[ ] Patient care team physician routinely practiced with a patient population and practice area for which the NP is certified and licensed
Respectfully submitted,
Valerie Wrobel, MSN, RN, AGNP-BC
