What is a
Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner is a registered

specialty area. They deal with people of all ages and health
problems.
Nurse Practitioners conduct exams, diagnose problems, treat conditions,
order tests and write prescriptions. They practice under their
own license and are regulated by the Nurse Practice Act. They are
board certified in their specialty area. Nurse Practitioners work
in collaboration with physicians and provide excellent, comprehensive
care with respect and empathy.
