Minister of Health François Braun evokes for a few weeks a project of "refoundation" of the profession. He wants to reform the "decree of acts", a legal text that strictly regulates the acts of care that nurses can practice.
The College of Nurses fully supports this project. But there are still many obstacles to extending the autonomy of nurses, first and foremost doctors' organizations. The review of the Rist Act has given rise to fierce battles in Parliament, where doctors' unions have succeeded in preventing it.
