The Nurse Practitioner (NP) market is a subset of the nursing profession. NPs are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who have completed a master's or doctoral degree in nursing and have advanced clinical training. They are licensed to diagnose and treat medical conditions, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications. NPs provide primary care services to patients of all ages, including preventive care, health promotion, and acute and chronic disease management. They also provide specialty care in areas such as mental health, women's health, and pediatrics.
NPs are increasingly being used to fill the gap in primary care services due to the shortage of physicians. They are also being used to provide care in rural and underserved areas. NPs are playing an important role in the healthcare system, providing quality care to patients while reducing healthcare costs.
Some companies in the NP market include Advanced Practice Strategies, American Association of Nurse Practitioners, American Nurses Association, and National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. Show Less Read more
