Career Topics
Becoming a Nurse Practitioner is a very appealing career choice for registered nurses. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide highly individualized, cost-effective preventive health care to patients who otherwise might suffer from being financially unable to receive the in-depth level of attention they need. Nurse Practitioners often work in medically understaffed areas, in which patients do not receive the level of care they require. NPs focus not only on the patient's well-being, but also on the effect the patient's illness has on his/her family. NPs make sure that the patient is fully educated about his/her condition, and encourage the patient to be a part of major decisions involved in their care.
Sometimes a Nurse Practitioner's advice results in fewer prescriptions and less expensive treatments for patients who cannot afford, do not wish to undergo, or simply do not require such costly measures. NPs instruct patients on healthy life behaviors, preventative measures, and self-care skills, so that they are not necessarily completely reliant on medical office visits. Their patients range in age from the very young to the very aged. The most common fields that nurse practitioners work in include family practice, adult practice, gerontology (working with the elderly), acute care, pediatrics, and women's health, although there are many others.
Nurse practitioners are qualified to give patients the same health care as physicians, and usually have close working relationships with the latter, to whom they often give referrals. A nurse practitioner can be a patient's regular health care provider. NPs are qualified to care for patients with injuries, infections, and acute illnesses, as well as diagnose, treat, and monitor chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioners inspect medical histories, give physicals, and order diagnostics such as X-rays, lab tests, and EKGs, which they are also qualified to perform and interpret. NPs can prescribe physical therapy and other rehabilitation treatments. NPs also occasionally work with the healthy – they are involved in prenatal and family planning, well-child care (including immunizations), and annual physicals for people of any age. Nurse practitioners are even able to prescribe necessary medications in most states.
