Standard Protocols
Certified Nurse Midwife Standard Protocol
FLEX/PRN Pool Protocol
NOTE: This protocol may only be used in conjunction with a Standard Protocol.
The ABN Administrative Code provides for use of the FLEX protocol, if the collaborating physician has reached the 160-hour-per-week (or 4 FTE) limit of APRN/PA staff and needs to add additional staff to cover for maternity leave, vacations, etc. If this is not the case, this protocol is unnecessary and should not be submitted.
Additionally, APRNs employed by the Alabama Department of Public Health and/or county health departments are exempt from the FTE limit and do not qualify for this protocol.
