Hiring a Nurse Practitioner

Hiring a Nurse Practitioner? The nurse practitioner is an expert clinician with the ability to function independently or as a collaborator with an attending physician. Because the NP functions in an autonomous role, he/she must be responsible, confident, and possess superior judgment and decision-making skills. The ideal candidate will be self-directed, articulate, and be able to work collaboratively with other disciplines. The nurse practitioner is responsible for patients along the entire continuum of care in all medical settings including, but not limited to, primary care, acute care, long term care, and homecare. NPs are at the forefront of proving preventative medicine.
