The administration has issued a public health order to provide APRNs in good standing with greater flexibility in their prescribing practices. This order includes the following updates:

• Certified nurse midwives will be allowed to continue to prescribe as already authorized.

• Authorizes APRNs who have at least two years of supervised practice experience to prescribe without physician supervision.

• Authorizes APRNs with fewer than two years of supervised practice experience to prescribe with physician supervision, but without the normally required written guidelines.
