The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) market is a subset of the nursing profession that focuses on providing specialized care to patients. APNs are registered nurses who have completed additional education and training in a specific area of practice, such as family practice, pediatrics, geriatrics, or mental health. They are qualified to diagnose and treat medical conditions, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications. APNs also provide patient education and counseling, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible care for their patients.
APNs are increasingly in demand as the healthcare system evolves to meet the needs of an aging population and the increasing complexity of medical care. They are often employed in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings, and may also work in private practice.
Companies in the APN market include Advanced Practice Strategies, Nurse Practitioner Associates, and Nurse Practitioner Solutions. Other companies include Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation, Nurse Practitioner Network, and Nurse Practitioner Services. Show Less Read more
