They are able to provide individuals, families, groups and communities with health services in health promotion, disease and injury prevention, cure, rehabilitation and support. The NP is an advanced practice nurse functioning within the full scope of nursing practice and as such is not a second level physician nor a doctor’s assistant.

The Nurse Practitioner’s skills include the ability to:
-provide wellness care including pap tests, physicals, monitoring infant growth and development
-diagnosing and treating minor illnesses such as ear, throat, chest infections, bladder infections, sprains, cuts and rashes
-screen for the presence of chronic disease such as diabetes
-monitor people with stable chronic disease such as high blood pressure and diabetes
They work collaboratively with a family physician and other health team members to provide the best care for each individual.
