What is a Certified Nurse Practitioner?
A certified nurse practitioner (CNP) is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. They hold a master's or doctoral degree and have advanced clinical training. They collaborate with physicians to diagnose and treat patients. Like physicians, they can make referrals, provide physical exams, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications.
As a nurse practitioner, I intend to provide care by acknowledging each person's individuality while providing compassionate care, educating patients and families, and striving to promote a healthcare environment that is therapeutic and respectful of all human beings. I believe that education is key to empowerment for patients to aid in their care of themselves.
