family nurse practitioner (FNP)

A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is an advanced healthcare professional who provides a wide range of medical services to individuals of all ages, similar to a doctor. They can diagnose illnesses, treat injuries, prescribe medications, and offer health education and preventive care.

They have completed additional training and education beyond registered nursing, enabling them to deliver comprehensive healthcare independently or as part of a healthcare team.
