Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam Prep (Sixth Edition)

By Cecil Brann

A nurse practitioner (NP) is a type of mid-level practitioner and an advanced practice registered nurse. NPs are trained to assess a patient's needs, order and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests, diagnose disease, and create and prescribe medication and treatment plans. The first formal graduate certificate program for NPs was created in 1965 by Henry Silver, a physician, and Loretta Ford, a nurse.In Australia, the scope of practice is guided by health organization policy and the individual's competency, while their right to access Medicare rebates requires a Collaborative Practice Arrangement with a medical practitioner. Advanced practice nursing first appeared in the 1990s in Ontario. Although the role of these nurses initially resembled a blended version of clinical nurse specialists Endless supply of the alumni program, they should pass the Public NP Affirmation Board Test, intended for their specialization. Although nurse practitioners are required to be licensed as registered nurses prior to obtaining their advanced practice registered nurse certification, there are several programs that combine a nursing undergraduate degree with nurse practitioner training. Candidates must apply for NP licensure, which varies according to state regulations.
