Nurse Practitioner

1. How is an NP different in duties to the work of an RN?

2. Are your hours better? Do you have more choice in choosing between day/evening/night?

Been discussed here multiple times. Do some research by searching the site and you'll find plenty of answers.

Completely different, starting with "duties" would be a good word which separates RN role from NP role.  Think of it you are now responsible for determining a diagnosis and then "duties" to be followed, as well the one who will be questioned if things don't go right.  It's a huge responsibility, and more dependent on what you know rather than what you do for outcomes.  Hours I'd say more likely office hours for NP role unless working in a hospital setting.  

I do exactly what the doctors I work with do.  No difference at all.

What opportunities could you work in with that credential? It sounds very interesting!

You are asking VERY basic questions, please use the search feature or even Google...

I think you have misunderstood what I was trying to ask...

As a family nurse practitioner are there areas where you are unable to work in because of the specialisation? 

Also, with the education focus would that mean that you would work as an NP and work as an academic for instance? Would you need an education degree to specialise in this particular area?

Yes, still a basic question and has been answered dozens of times here. Google "nurse practitioner consensus model".
