Nebraska: A Brief History
Nebraska’s history dates back to its formation as a territory by the Kansas–Nebraska Act, passed by the United States Congress on May 30, 18541. The Nebraska Territory was settled extensively under the Homestead Act of 1862 during the 1860s, and in 1867 was admitted to the Union as the 37th U.S. The Plains Indians are the descendants of a long line of succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples in Nebraska who occupied the area for thousands of years before European arrival and continue to do so today. Home to the biggest mammoth display in the country, more miles of rivers than any other state, and the most successful investor of all time, Warren Buffet, Nebraska has something for everyone!

Physician FAQs In Nebraska
Can Physicians Sign POLST/POST/MOLST/MOST/COLST Forms in Nebraska?
In Nebraska, physicians have the authority to sign POLST forms. These forms outline an individual’s preferences for medical treatment in case they become critically ill and unable to communicate. The POLST form includes sections for personal information, medical diagnosis, and treatment preferences. Once signed, the form becomes part of the patient’s medical record and must be honored by healthcare providers. The POLST program in Nebraska promotes patient autonomy and ensures that individuals have a say in their own medical care even when they are unable to communicate their wishes.
Can Physicians Sign Do Not Resuscitate Orders in Nebraska?
In Nebraska, physicians have the authority to execute Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders. The process involves physician assessment, obtaining patient or legally authorized representative consent, documenting the order, and communicating it to relevant parties. DNR orders legally bind healthcare providers to withhold cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other resuscitative measures, honoring the patient’s wishes regarding end-of-life care. This practice aligns with the ethical principle of patient autonomy, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare.
What are the Continuing Education Requirements for Physicians in Nebraska?
In Nebraska, physicians must complete 50 CME hours, including three hours on opioid education to renew their license every biennial licensure cycle.
