Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment. I have been a nurse practitioner (NP) for 20 years practicing in a variety of settings in Virginia and overseas. Completion of graduate education and national board certification deem that I am a competent clinician. As a small business owner in a solo NP practice, implementing the following requirements places a financial burden and hardship on the business as well as barriers to growing the practice and providing patient care.
Please keep this in mind as rules are being promulgated.
Thank you,
Nurse Practitioner Buky
