NP Transition

Published

I've applied to two NP Programs. My question is how did you manage the transition from nurse to practitioner? Do you diagnose and treat independently or as part of a team. What are prescriptive privileges?

Might be helpful to specify your state as it will vary greatly by your state laws.

All NPs can diagnose and treat, some need collaborative arrangements by law, others don't, but most NPs work in a role that requires it.

Collaboration for most practicing NPs is a retrospective afterthought rather than a direct supervision.
