Nurse Practitioner

What a nurse practitioner (np) does, when to see one, and what to expect.

What they treat

Many of the same everyday services as primary care, including checkups, prescriptions and managing common conditions, within state rules.

When to see one

A good option for routine and same-day care.

What the visit is like

Similar to a primary care visit.

Not sure if it can wait?
