On April 17, 2020, Governor Northam issued Executive Order 57, which allowed NPs with at least two years of full-time clinical experience to practice autonomously until the end of the public health emergency. Since that time when EO 57 was enacted, there has been no negative impact on patient safety, and access to care has been improved. Making EO 57’s regulations permanent allow NPs to remain in Virginia (rather than moving out of state for work) and provide primary and specialty care, especially in underserved areas where the only local practice may have closed or significantly reduced hours.
