A nurse practitioner is a
registered nurse who has completed specific advanced
nursing education in a specialty (generally a
master's degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions in a specialty. Nurse practitioners provide a broad range of
health care services.Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide much of the same basic, non-emergent care provided by
physicians generally of the type seen in their specific practice areas like family practice offices, urgent care centers, and rural health clinics, and maintain collaborative working relationships with physicians. NPs are licensed by the state in which they practice, and have a board certification (often through ANCC -
American Nurses Credentialing Center or for specialty practice such as the NCC: National Certification Corporation) in their area of practice. Rather than a generic focus of education, Nurse Practitioners are able to specialize in an area of study they desire (e.g. Pediatrics, Women's Health, Family Practice, Adult, Geriatric, etc.), and provide care within the scope of their expertise. As well, Nurse practitioners in certain states can be "psychiatric clinicians" and perform similar practice (though at a different level) as a
psychiatrist would.
