Episode 17: A nurse & a physician on harnessing nurses' potential

First Opinion Podcast - A podcast by STAT - Wednesdays

This week, Pat is joined by two members of the National Academy of Medicine’s Committee on the Future of Nursing. We discuss full practice authority, which gives advanced practice nurses the ability to diagnose, write prescriptions, and care independently for patients. It’s a contentious issue, but Regina Cunningham and Marshall Chin believe that with more autonomy, nurses are capable of dismantling the country’s health inequities.
