Advanced practice registered nurses; to revise provisions related to APRNS / nurse anesthetists.

SB 2673 revises Mississippi's nursing practice laws to modernize regulations for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), particularly nurse anesthetists. The bill exempts certified nurse anesthetists with at least 8,000 clinical practice hours from needing a collaborative relationship with a physician, allowing them to practice independently. It also updates definitions of APRN roles, adds a nurse anesthetist to the Mississippi Board of Nursing, and aligns disciplinary provisions and medical cannabis-related rules. The bill was referred to committee but died there in February 2025 without becoming law.
