A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has completed advanced education and training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. Nurse Practitioners provide a broad range of health care services. They provide some of the same care provided by physicians and maintain close working relationships with physicians. An NP can serve as a patient’s regular health care provider.
Nurse practitioners see patients of all ages. The core philosophy of the field is individualized care. Nurse practitioners focus on patients' conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of the patients and their families. NPs make prevention, wellness, and patient education priorities. This can mean fewer prescriptions and less expensive treatments. Informing patients about their health care and encouraging them to participate in decisions are central to the care provided by NPs. In addition to health care services, NPs conduct research and are often active in patient advocacy activities.
A Physician Assistant (PAs) is a health-care professional who works under the supervision of a physician, who can be on or off site. PAs provide patient services ranging from taking medical histories and doing physical examinations to performing minor surgical procedures. PAs receive 2 years of postgraduate training and pass a national certifying exam. They are licensed by individual states. PAs deliver quality routine health care and are an increasingly important part of health care.
