Letter 1 — Support for APRN Full Practice Authority 12 November 2025 Senator Nicholas Scutari New Jersey State Senate, District Office Trenton, NJ Dear Senator Scutari: I am writing as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and constituent to urge your support for A-1234 / S-1234, the New Jersey Full Practice Authority for APRNs Act. I strongly support this bill because removing unnecessary supervisory barriers will improve timely access to primary and chronic care for residents across our state (National Academy of Medicine, 2021). In my clinical practice in Newark, I routinely manage chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes for patients who cannot get timely primary-care appointments. Granting full practice authority would allow me to use the full extent of my training to improve access and outcomes (American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2022). Evidence shows that APRN full practice authority is associated with increased access to care, lower costs, and comparable quality of care (Poghosyan et al., 2020). I ask that you commit to supporting A-1234 / S-1234 and to share the reasons you believe the bill should or should not advance. If there are specific concerns, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet or provide data that address them. Thank you for considering the perspective of a clinician working on the front lines of patient care; your support would meaningfully expand access for our most vulnerable neighbors.
