- Nurses warn that new interpretation of Georgia law will mean less care for rural communities
Nurses in Georgia warn that new guidance from the Georgia Composite Medical Board on a 2006 law could force closures of rural clinics by preventing physicians from being compensated for supervising nurse-owned clinics. The guidance reinterprets the law to classify compensated physicians as employees of these clinics, disrupting agreements necessary for advanced practice registered nurses to operate legally.
