    But it kind of gives you the idea that, you know, you have to address health problems on a much broader scale. And poverty certainly was one they had to address. Tied to house and poverty was water. Here's our 55- gallon drum, again. There's no running water in most of the black areas in the Mississippi Delta in the 1960s, or the Arkansas Delta, or throughout much of Appalachia, you know, including white areas of Appalachia because Appalachia is almost all white. ©2019 National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc.

    So those are the Nursing America states, and I want to just also touch on a few other trends in APRN legislation. We, of course see other states, other than Nursing America states that are advancing independent practice for APRNs, some of those states just off the top of my head, are California, Pennsylvania, I know Missouri had a few bills, Arkansas. And one bill, I just want to note because I think it's kind of interesting is that Kansas had a bill to advance independent practice for APRNs, and when it made it to the House floor, which is certainly a feat, it was gutted and replaced with Medicaid expansion.

    And so my problem is that we have to use a lot of time doing communication and education and marketing to make people, these nurses, especially RNs, understand what telehealth involves. And every time you make that telephone call, if you're in Louisiana and your patient is in Texas or Arkansas or Mississippi or Alabama, we're surrounded by compact states, you're doing telehealth and you must have either an MSL or a single-state license in those states.
