Nurse Practitioners
Nurse
Practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice nurses who provide
high-quality healthcare services similar to those of a physician and
maintain a close working relationships with physicians. The
core philosophy of the field is individualized care. NPs make
prevention, wellness, and patient education priorities, which can mean
fewer prescriptions and less expensive treatments. NPs focus on
patients' conditions as well as the effects of
illness on the lives of the patients and their families. Informing
patients about their
health care and encouraging them to participate in decisions are
central to the care provided by NPs. Truly your
partners in health, patients who see NPs report an
extremely high level of satisfaction with the care they receive.
More and more people are choosing NPs as their primary, acute and/or
specialty healthcare provider. In addition to being top-notch
healthcare providers, NPs deliver a unique blend of nursing and medical
care. They provide comprehensive, personalized health education and
counseling. NPs assist patients in making better lifestyle and health
decisions. NPs have distinguished themselves from other healthcare
providers by focusing on the whole person when treating specific health
problems and educating their patients on the effects those problems
will have on them, their loved ones and their communities.
