“…If they are to be effective overdose prevention tools, PDMPs must be combined with robust provider education and dramatically increased access to evidence-based treatment and pain management, so that patients who are identified as at increased overdose risk can be connected quickly and easily with high-quality pain or addiction care [14].

Advanced Practice Nurses (APRN) are the forefront of healthcare that provide care to individuals, families, groups and communities. With the opioid epidemic on the rise in Rhode Island and nationally, it is imperative to teach APRN students safe prescribing of opioids. The purpose of this study was to increase advanced practice nursing students' awareness and knowledge of safe opioid prescribing guidelines. The Instituting the CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain in RIC graduate nursing school curriculum will increase APRN's knowledge and attitudes on safe prescribing. To date, there is diminutive research available on the knowledge and attitudes of APRN students on safe opioid prescribing. Further research is indicated.
