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.
How is an NP different from a PA?
Both NPs and Physician Assistants (PAs) provide advanced clinical care, but they have different educational backgrounds. NPs are trained in the nursing model with a focus on holistic care and patient relationships. PAs are trained in the medical model, closer to the physician training pathway.
