Nurse Practitioner

A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice registered nurse who provides healthcare services to patients. They have completed additional education, typically a master's or doctoral degree, allowing them to diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, and develop treatment plans. NPs often work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices, and they focus on both treating illnesses and promoting overall wellness. They can care for patients of all ages and often play a vital role in preventive care, managing chronic diseases, and addressing health concerns in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
