S Died in Health Policy
Summary
The bill amends Florida law so that qualified advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) can work without physician supervision in primary care, psychiatric mental health, and certified nurse‑midwife services. It also lets these nurses admit, manage, and discharge patients from facilities and sign certain documents normally required of physicians. The change was intended to expand access to care but the measure failed to pass.
