    The North Carolina General Assembly is currently considering the Modernizing Nursing Practice Act, which seeks to remove certain practice barriers for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. The legislation would remove costly physician supervision requirements for Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives and Clinical Nurse Specialists.

    ECU College of Nursing professor Dr. Donna Lake is president of the North Carolina Organization for Nurse Leaders, which issued a position statement of support for the Modernizing Nursing Practice Act at its 2015 conference. The event, held April 29-May 1 at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center in Greensboro, includes 170 nurse leaders from around the state.

    In addition to teaching nursing leadership courses at the graduate level, Lake is co-investigator on ECU's $1 million grant from the American Medical Association to help reshape medical education.
