What is a Nurse Practitioner?

A Nurse Practitioner is a board-certified Registered Nurse (RN) who has completed advanced training and education—a minimum of a master’s degree—in the diagnosis, treatment and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses.

How can a Nurse Practitioner improve my family's health?
