A Nurse Practitioner receives an education and training at the graduate level (Masters or higher). Nurse Practitioners can assess, diagnose, and treat a variety of medical problems. If you wish to become a Nurse Practitioner you must be a Registered Nurse before you can apply. 18 states have granted Nurse Practitioners full practice authority and more have legislation pending.
A nurse practitioner is a health care provider that can diagnose, treat, and monitor various disease processes. In some states, they can prescribe narcotics as well. So far, there are only four states that still won't allow this component of practice. In some states, a NP must have a collaborative agreement with a MD, some may require direct supervision. Some NPs may have their own private practices without physician oversight at all. NPs can obtain privileges at hospitals so that they can round. Some states allow NPs to admit their own patients to hospitals.
