Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/nurse-practitioner

A nurse practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice registered nurse who performs patient diagnosis and treatment planning, prescribes medications, and conducts clinical assessments, often functioning with a high degree of autonomy. NPs use electronic health records to document care and dedicate significant time to patient education and counseling, helping patients manage both acute and chronic conditions. The role requires a master's or doctoral nursing degree and national certification, and NPs practice across primary care, specialty clinics, and hospital settings.
