AN ACT RELATING TO BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONS -- NURSES

Summary

The bill revises the definitions of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and related terms in Rhode Island law. It adds a new section that ensures APRNs providing care via telemedicine are held to the same standard of care as in‑person services and cannot be penalized solely for using telemedicine, even when treating out‑of‑state patients under certain conditions. The changes aim to modernize nursing practice and support remote care.
