What is a Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are autonomous, licensed health professionals who provide comprehensive health care across the lifespan. NPs are educated at a master’s or doctoral level. They assess, diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic illnesses; order and interpret labs and diagnostic tests; prescribe medications; perform procedures within their legislated scope of practice; refer patients to specialists and other care providers; collaborate and coordinate with other healthcare providers. NPs work independently and collaboratively, integrating clinical expertise with evidence-based practice to promote health, prevent illness, and provide comprehensive care.
