It is NACDS’ understanding that before departing office, former Gov. Phil Murphy (D) rescinded Executive Order 415, a COVID-era measure that allowed advanced practice nurses (APNs) and physician assistants (PAs) to prescribe without a collaborative agreement with a physician. According to various online reports, the rescission will go into effect on February 16. NACDS cautions members to be aware of this change in policy when filling prescriptions from non-physician providers.
