Again, I will speak to nurse practitioners in particular, with the recommendations we made to remove some of the restrictions from their signing various federal forms and so forth, and being able to give samples of drugs. That they can prescribe the drug, but they can't actually give a sample of the drug is quite ironic. This would enable them to help patients on the spot. Usually these are drugs such as blood pressure medication to reduce blood pressure that's too high and dangerously high, etc. Removing those barriers would really make a difference.
The other thing, in terms of supports specifically to our nurses who work in the north, is that notion of skills training. Concerning the national type of education programs that are available—of course I need to mention CNA's own various certification programs—we need to ensure that those nurses are confident in their skills and have the resources that they need to call on when they are faced with some of the very complex situations that they cope with.
Those would be my thoughts there.
