My heart has found a love for the career ; Nurse practitioner (NP). A nurse practitioner is a form of a nurse, ranking above a RN and below a DR. The daily role of a NP would be servicing patients, prescribing medications, and working with the doctor hand in hand for the best medical treatment plan. The only difference between a doctor and a NP is that a NP can not give medicine without a doctors signature, the doctor never needs to see the patients however the NP does need the permission. This a a 6 year program starting with a 4 year bachelor of science and nursing (BSN), and ending with a 2 year masters of science and nursing program (MSN).
