Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Nurse Practitioners

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who have completed graduate-level education and have passed a national certification exam in their specialty area. They are licensed to practice independently or in collaboration with physicians, depending on the state laws.

NPs can provide a wide range of primary, acute, and specialty healthcare services to patients of all ages. They can diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications. They also provide preventative care and health education. They can work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, private practices, and long-term care facilities.

NPs have a strong focus on patient-centered care and often play a key role in coordinating and managing a patient’s care across different healthcare settings. They can provide continuity of care, reducing the need for patients to see multiple specialists, and can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.

In summary, Nurse Practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses, who have completed graduate-level education and have passed a national certification exam.
