What is FindMyNP?
FindMyNP is a directory that connects patients with verified Nurse Practitioners across the US. You can search by specialty, location, or name to find an NP who fits your needs.
Is it free to search for an NP?

What can a Nurse Practitioner treat?
Nurse Practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, order and interpret lab tests, and manage a wide range of acute and chronic health concerns. Depending on their specialty, they can treat everything from primary care and mental health to aesthetics, cardiology, pediatrics, and more.
How do I know the NPs are qualified?
Every NP listed on FindMyNP goes through a verification process before their profile goes live. We verify state licensure and board certification to ensure the credentials they claim are real.
What if I'm not sure which specialty I need?
Use our "Help Me Choose" tool. Describe your symptoms or health concerns and our AI-powered matcher will suggest the most relevant NP specialty for your situation.
About Nurse Practitioners
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced graduate-level education — typically a Master's or Doctorate in nursing practice. NPs are trained to provide a full range of clinical services, often with a focus on patient education and preventive care.
Can an NP prescribe medication?
Yes. NPs are licensed to prescribe medications, including controlled substances in most states. Prescribing authority varies slightly by state.
Do NPs practice independently?
In most US states, NPs have full practice authority and can practice independently without physician oversight. In a smaller number of states, a collaborative agreement with a physician may be required.

Do I have to be in independent practice?
No. NPs in collaborative agreements, supervised practice, or group practices are all welcome. Your profile reflects your actual practice structure — full practice authority, reduced, or restricted — so patients see exactly what you offer.
How does verification work?
After you submit your application, we verify your active state license through the appropriate state nursing board and confirm your board certification.
