If a physician were to employ an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) in her practice, what might be the benefit over hiring a physician assistant (PA) for the same position? Where should the medical practice manager look for information on
the scope of practice for the ARNP or PA?
A PA requires chart oversight in most states, whereas an ARNP is often able to practice without such oversight by a physician. This frees the physician up to do other tasks in the office. The medical boards in each state dictate the scope of practice for all medical professions.
