NPs evaluate patients, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses, write prescriptions and bring a comprehensive perspective to health care in nearly 1 billion patient visits each year."

NPs must become certified as a registered nurse, earn a Master of Science in Nursing, complete certification in their chosen specialty, and obtain APRN licensure.
