Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who have earned advanced degrees to become an important type of primary healthcare provider. A nurse practitioner can diagnose and treat routine or minor ailments, manage acute illnesses and injuries and stabilize long-term chronic illnesses. Your FHN nurse practitioner, in collaboration with other members of the FHN healthcare team, can order tests and prescribe medications.

BC-FNP stands for Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner
