About Nurse Practitioners
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced academic and clinical experience, which enables him or her to diagnose and manage most common and many chronic illnesses, either independently or as part of a health care team. A nurse practitioner provides some care previously offered only by physicians and in most states has the ability to prescribe medications.
Most NPs specialize in a particular field of medical care, and there are as many types of NPs as there are medical specialties.
