Nurse Practitioner week is upon us and is a reminder to recognize and appreciate the contributions of nurse practitioners in our hospital and clinics.
A nurse practitioner is a highly trained and licensed healthcare provider who has advanced education and clinical training beyond that of a registered nurse. Nurse practitioners are qualified to diagnose and treat medical conditions, prescribe medications, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and provide patient education.
We are grateful for the role our nurse practitioners play in patient care and hope you will help us celebrate their amazing contribution.
