LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Nurse practitioner Bob Hobbs once came within days of closing his doors to patients because a doctor who gave him permission to write scripts was leaving the state and he couldn't find another one quickly enough.
But a just-enacted Kentucky law ensures that won't happen again.
I've heard nurse practitioners complain about this a lot. Either they can't find physicians to supervise them for prescriptive authority (they are the competition), or physicians charge a lot of money for this service because they know NP's options are limited.
