Show Notes
Missouri lawmakers propose easing rules for nurse practitioners prescribing controlled substances, aiming to attract more professionals to the state and boost access to care in underserved areas. The bill, backed by bipartisan sponsors, would allow qualified nurse practitioners to bypass formal agreements with doctors after logging two thousand hours working with a physician. However, the proposal faces strong opposition from doctors and medical associations, who argue it risks lowering standards without proper oversight.
