Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment.  I have been a nurse practitioner (NP) for 3 years practicing in family care and mental health care settings in the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, state of Virginia.  Completion of graduate education and national board certification deem that I am a competent clinician. Please keep this in mind as rules are being promulgated.

Respectfully,

Angela M. Allen, FNP-BC
