Wisconsin school nurses say increased Medicaid reimbursement would provide more stable future - WPR

Attention, school nurses! The Board of Nursing is currently accepting public comments to discuss a proposed change to the definition of delegation. As part of this change, the definition of provider will no longer list those providers from whom school nurses (RNs or LPNs) may accept medical orders. Instead, it will state that "Provider" means any licensed professional legally authorized to delegate acts within the scope of their practice. 

This is an important issue that impacts you directly! As a school nurse, your voice matters in this discussion. 

We encourage you to review the Proposed Order on the legislative website (C.R. 24-031 Rule Text) and provide your public comment by May 9, 2024. 

Comments may be submitted to: 

Sofia Anderson, Administrative Rules Coordinator

Department of Safety and Professional Services, Division of Policy Development

4822 Madison Yards Way

P.O. Box 8366

Madison, WI 53708-8366

Or by email to: DSPSAdminRules@wisconsin.gov

Comments must be received on or before the public hearing to be held on May 9, 2024, to be included in the record of rule-making proceedings.
