What Nurse Practitioners Do

Nurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses who assess patients, diagnose and manage health conditions, order or interpret tests, and develop treatment plans. Depending on state regulations, their responsibilities may include prescribing medication and practicing independently or in collaboration with physicians. NPs also educate patients, coordinate care, and promote preventive health.

NP opportunities span a range of specialties and patient populations. Common titles include family nurse practitioner, adult-gerontology nurse practitioner, acute care nurse practitioner, psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, pediatric nurse practitioner, and women’s health nurse practitioner. Roles may focus on primary care, emergency medicine, cardiology, oncology, or other areas.

Work Settings and Career Paths

Nurse practitioners work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, physician offices, community health centers, urgent care, and virtual care organizations. Experienced NPs may move into clinical leadership, care management, education, or healthcare administration. The right role can depend on your specialty certification, preferred patient population, schedule, and scope-of-practice preferences.

Qualifications for Nurse Practitioner Jobs

Most NP positions require an active registered nurse license, graduate-level nurse practitioner education, national certification in a relevant population focus, and state authorization to practice. Employers may also seek specialty experience, strong diagnostic and communication skills, and familiarity with electronic health records. Requirements vary by employer, specialty, and state.
