Is a Nurse Practitioner right for you?

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) have been around since 1965, and are the best kept secret in healthcare. Most NPs do not work for themselves, so chances are you have met an NP in a physician’s office.

Nurse practitioners are trained in schools of nursing, which focus on the human response to illness, providing a holistic approach to health care. Nurse practitioners take into consideration your habits, lifestyle, personality and family involvement and encourage the patient and their family to participate in decisions. NPs make prevention, wellness, and patient education priorities which can mean fewer prescriptions and less expensive treatments.

With the high patient satisfaction documented in research over the last 40 years, Nurse Practitioners are the future of primary care.
