Episode Synopsis

Follow @TexasNursesAssn
Welcome to season two of #TexasNursesPod! In season one, our policy episodes focused on issues that matter to nurses with nurse leaders, such as nursing shortages and workplace violence. This year we're back with new hosts, new topics, and awesome guests!
Listen to host Chasity Shaw,  RN, BSN, MSN and Blake Hutson, an Associate State Director at AARP, discuss what it would mean for APRNs in Texas to have full practice authority in Texas. APRNs can practice to the full extent of their education and training only when they contract with a physician to “supervise” their practice. Meanwhile, research shows that expanding practice freedoms could increase access for patients and lower care costs. Where does that leave Texas nurses - and their patients? 
Stream now, and stay tuned for more! (And check out the older episode Chasity mentioned here.)
