Section 128425 Of Article 3. Geriatric Nurse Practitioner And Clinical Nurse Specialist Scholarship Program From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 107. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 3.
128425
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that more and
better qualified medical care is needed for residents of health care
facilities. The Legislature further finds that the shortage of
physicians available to work in skilled nursing facilities and other
facilities providing care primarily to geriatric patients is expected
to continue.
Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to promote more and
better-qualified medical care for geriatric patients by increasing
training opportunities for geriatric nurse practitioners and
geriatric clinical nurse specialists and by providing an incentive
for nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists to practice in
skilled nursing facilities or other facilities providing care
primarily to geriatric patients. It is not the intent of the
Legislature in enacting this article to change the existing scope of
practice of nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists.
