More California nurse practitioners could work independently, offer abortions under new bill
California would allow nurse practitioners to more easily work independently of a doctor and perform abortions under legislation that expands reproductive care as other states move to restrict access.
“SB 1375 is a proactive step further to increase access to affordable quality abortion care in California,” Atkins said. “Our state is facing a a serious shortage of primary care clinicians, especially for our Latino, Black and Native American communities — a problem that is expected to get even more dire over the next decade.”California is expected to face a massive shortage of healthcare workers in the next decade, with the need for care increasing as the population ages.
That bill, by Assemblymember Jim Wood , is slated to take effect next year, with specifics about the criteria a nurse practitioner must meet before working independently still being weighed by the Board of Registered Nursing. “Those of us who’ve been working for many, many years as nurse practitioners then would automatically meet that transition to practice,” Gurney said.
