Duties and Responsibilities of a Nurse Practitioner
Nurse practitioners have duties and responsibilities that extend beyond those of a registered nurse. In many states, nurse practitioners are able to work without the supervision of a physician and may even write prescriptions. They often assist doctors on complicated procedures and consult on difficult cases, in addition to seeing their own patients and performing administrative duties. Nurse practitioners are often employed in rural areas, where a full-time physician is either unneeded or too costly. Urban care centers with high patient volumes also rely on nurse practitioners as a lower cost and similarly capable alternative to physicians. Nurse practitioners must complete additional training in pharmacology, pathology and treatment and diagnose techniques beyond what is required of registered nurses. Virtually all nurse practitioners begin their careers as registered nurses before pursuing the additional education and training that makes them an incredibly valuable asset to any health care provider.
