Nurse practitioners are able to treat patients, without the guidance of doctors. They continue their education after receiving their bachelors in the science of nursing, BSN. They look at the patients health history, examine, diagnose, and treat the illness. They are qualified to interpret lab results, x-rays, prescribe medications, treat illnesses, and refer patients if necessary (Mayo Clinic).
How do you become a nurse practitioner?
After nursing students complete their bachelors degree, take their certified National Council Licensure Exam to become a registered nurse, they continue their education and acquire a masters degree.
What is their salary?
Level of experience, specific field, and years of employment are just a few factors that influence salary, but on average nurse practitioners make around $93,000 a year (Indeed.com).
