Nurse practitioner classifications to fight provider shortage
Summary
The county is creating new nurse practitioner job levels under AB 890 so experienced NPs can practice with less physician supervision — a response to Tulare County's ratio of roughly 2,000 patients per provider versus 1,200 statewide. Nine positions will be reclassified, with salary steps about 10% apart.
