Has anyone seen a nurse practitioner? |
How are they different from a nurse? I disagree with "mom of 3" when she states "most ER nurses are ASN" this is not true :-) most floor nurses are ASNs, ER nursing is a speciality. Many have their CCRN & BSN. A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has completed advanced education (a minimum of a master's degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioners provide a broad range of health care services. They provide some of the same care provided by physicians and maintain close working relationships with physicians. An NP can serve as a patient's regular health care provider. Nurse Practioners are also called Physician assistants. They have more education than a nurse and are able to write prescriptions. I see one and seen others in the past. I have found that they quite often offer a higher level of patient care because they are not in as big of a hurry as most doctors. Yes, many nurse practitioners take place of the doctor in today's 2 minute visits. Usually the NP can spend more one on one time with you as a patient and acting as an asst. to the DR. |
