According to advanced registered nurse practitoners, Florida taxpayers could save more than $339 million each year if state lawmakers follow the recommendations of their own study and allow them to practice to their ability. Florida is one of only two states -- Alabama is the other -- that restrict ARNPs scope of practice. Saturday's rally, they say, is all about increased access and lower health care costs.
