Abstract
Full practice authority has been granted to nurse practitioners by many states. These practitioners are educated and trained as full primary providers of health care. Full practice authority for nurse practitioners is not granted in Mississippi, which currently ranks in the lowest positions for health care in the United States. The low ranking can be attributed to a lack of providers and access to services.
This project seeks to explore attitudes and understanding of nurse practitioner students in the State of Mississippi regarding full practice authority. A survey will be electronically distributed to determine what is already known and understood about full practice authority. Educational information will be presented to bring a uniform understanding of full practice authority. Finally, a post-education survey will be electronically distributed to gather data about how opinions and understanding have changed with the educational intervention. Survey data will then be processed through statistical analysis for both qualitative and quantitative values.
