Scope of Nurse Practitioner
.png&optimizer=image&quality=80&width=280)
"They assess, diagnose, treat, and manage acute episodic and chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioners are also experts in health promotion and disease prevention. They order, conduct, supervise, and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests, prescribe pharmacological agents and nonpharmacologic therapies, as well as teach and counsel patients, among other services.”
American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP)
The AANP is a leading organization that leads its advocacy group for nurse practitioners. It is considered the largest organization for nurses.
“Their scope of practice is that they do not work under a physician, but they can be independent practitioners themselves, which is always some sticking point for physicians.”
The overall lack of providers and practitioners within the United States is a good opportunity. However, it comes with many caveats. All of the nurse practitioners come from AANP as they define this big umbrella of the scope of practice for nurse practitioners.
The Scope of Practice - State Specific
Kansas became one of the 26th states that allow full practice authority to nurse practitioners. Many limitations go into what is in there, clinical hours, what kind of training they had, etc. At the end of the day, different states use various models in terms of scope of practice for nurse practitioners.
