Nurse practitioner classifications to fight provider shortage
Tulare County
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.
