APN Prescriptive Authority Survey

100% of survey complete.

Dear Colorado APN,

This 6-question survey is focused on questions related to APN prescriptive authority. There is increased interest in this issue, but to effectively move forward we need to have data and not just anecdotes. The Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence is working to gather this data for a range of leaders and policy makers.
