Nurse practitioner (NP)

Nurse practitioners are registered nurses (RNs) with advanced training in a special area, such as family medicine, geriatric medicine, pediatrics or women's health. They also focus on how health issues emotionally affect patients and their families. You may choose this provider for preventative care, routine exams, illness or injury.
