The Florida Association of Nurse Practitioners (FLANP) supports the ability for ARNPs to certify DNR orders, sign Baker Acts and death certificates, we well as the removal of the physician supervisory licensure requirements (FLANP).

Just as the restrictions over prescriptions rights have evolved over time, so too can other laws that will allow NPs to practice to their fullest potential (Keeling, 2015).

One place that women stepped into new roles was as members of the Army Nurse Corps, a group of professional female nurses established in 1917 in service to wounded soldiers. There was an increasing prominence of nursing as a woman’s occupation, needed for the War effort.…
