APRN’s That We Act Now! 'Doctor' Title Bill

Greetings members,

It is Important as APRN’s That We Act Now!

FWD Message: FNPN

Call to Action:

The Florida Nurse Practitioners (FNPN) has been notified by our lobbyist, Allison Carvajal, that HB 583 (Title Bill)  sponsored by Representative Massulo and its companion bill SB230 sponsored by Senator Gayle Harrell has been set to move through the Senate for a vote next week. This bill is an outright attack on our APRN profession and will prevent us from using the “Doctor” title, which we worked hard to earn.

It is important that all NPs and their colleagues and families reach out to the members of the Health Policy Committee and the Healthcare Regulation Subcommittee. We need everyone to contact FL legislators. Please call first and then send an email.When you click on the committee links in the attached Word file, you will see the legislator names. Click on the legislator's name, and you will see information about the legislator including a phone number and a button to send an email.

Thank you and let's let our voices be heard!
