Additional Information
Prescribing Controlled Substances Safely and Effectively:
Comprehensive Preparation for Florida Nurse Practitioners
Florida Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners and Controlled Substance Prescribing
The long-awaited passage of 2016 Florida legislation allows nearly 20,000 nurse practitioners to be eligible to prescribe controlled substances starting January 2017. This nationally recognized event makes Florida the 50th state to expand prescribing privileges, which creates an unprecedented need for statewide education.
This important transition results in an immediate need for updated information and prescribing strategies after decades of being restricted from Phase II-V prescribing knowledge and advanced practice education programs. Although all nurse practitioners who wish to obtain DEA licensure must complete mandatory education in opioid prescribing, Schedule II-V prescribing requires further education. Our partner, Barkley and Associates, is one of the few nationally recognized and AANP-approved providers to offer comprehensive, evidence-based education in Schedule II-V medications.
In an effort to reduce the burden of time for busy nurse practitioners, this conference is scheduled on a weekend day, giving attendees more scheduling flexibility and providing sponsors a unique opportunity to reach more individuals.
