Nurse practitioners

From one Arlene to another, thanks to Arlene Torres for her letter informing us of the pending legislation for nurse practitioners. This is long overdue.

I have had a wonderful nurse practitioner for 30 years who takes very good care of me, better than some doctors that I’ve had At 81, I’m in good health thanks to her care and concern. She takes as much time as needed to listen to me, research when needed, and refer me to the proper specialists for further care.

I hope others with the same experience will write their representatives in Tallahassee to enact this legislation.
