Arrr, the House of Delegates be seekin' to shackle the scope o' practice for them advanced practice registered nurses! But the brave nursing groups be fightin' back, sayin' nay to this tyranny! Yo ho ho! Medscape Medical News be tellin' the tale.

In a rather peculiar turn of events, the House of Delegates over at the American Medical Association (AMA) have apparently set their sights on a new target: advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Arrr, ye heard that right, me hearties! These scurvy dogs want to impose stricter regulations on our beloved mates in the nursing profession.
Now, ye may be wonderin' what exactly be the motivation behind this sea-worthy endeavor. 'Tis said that the AMA be feelin' rather threatened by the ever-expandin' scope of practice for APRNs. They fear these skilled souls be takin' away their precious booty – I mean, patients.
But fear not, me fellow mateys, for the nursing groups have come to our defense! They be pushin' back against the AMA's attempts to limit the abilities of APRNs. These brave souls have long fought for their right to autonomously care for patients, and they won't be surrenderin' without a fight.
It be clear that this be a battle of wills between the doctors and the nurses, a clash of egos, if ye will. The AMA, with their fancy titles and fancy ships, think they be the only ones fit to provide comprehensive care. But the nursing groups be arguin' that APRNs have the skills and knowledge to offer quality care to patients without the need for constant supervision.
So, me hearties, let us rally behind our mates in the nursing profession and support their fight against these landlubber doctors. Together, we can ensure that APRNs have the freedom to practice their craft to the fullest extent of their abilities. Let's show those AMA scallywags that unity and solidarity amongst healthcare professionals be the key to a successful voyage on the high seas of medicine!
