Advance Practice Nurses

Advanced Practice Nurses are registered nurses that have an advanced education (Master of Science in Nursing) and clinical training in a health care specialty area. NP’s are required to attend an educational facility accredited by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioners Faculties and the American Association of the Colleges of Nursing. Women’s Health Care NPs provide care throughout the lifespan of the female patient from adolescence through menopause. Nurse Practitioners diagnose and treat acute health problems, provide prenatal care and family planning services, perform physical exams, prescribe medications, and order, perform and interpret diagnostic studies such as lab work and ultrasounds.
