What Is a Nurse Practitioner?

A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has completed advanced coursework and clinical education (a minimum of a master’s degree) in the diagnosis and management of medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. The core philosophy of the NP field is individualized care. Nurse Practitioners focus on patients’ conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of the patients and their families. If prescriptions are needed, NPs in the state of Georgia are able to prescribe and manage medications.
