Opinion on how licensure as a nurse relates to service on a volunteer rescue squad
 

Agree with Mr. Riley regarding the oversimplification and unnecessary steps to ensure the best use of employed transport nurses in the the environment for which they have been specifically trained, evaluated, and approved to practice by their physician medical director. Great efforts have already been made by medical transport industry experts. ASTNA and CAMTS guidelines would far better serve the Virginia Board of Nursing as the foundation for their statement on the matter.
