- Nurse Practitioners - an Unsung Resource
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses or Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses with graduate degrees and additional clinical training -- either a master's degree or a doctorate along with advanced knowledge and skills in a specialized area of care, such as pediatric care, women's health, cardiac care, or primary care. In South Carolina, there are an estimated 800,000 people without health insurance who postpone or avoid care until there is an emergency. If Pres Obama's health reform is successful, and health insurance becomes available to these uninsured, there simply won't be enough primary care physicians in South Carolina to absorb the sudden increase in demand for care. People need to learn how to use the talent, experience, and skills of both physicians and nurse practition...

- Nurse Practitioners Another Level of Care
The addition of nurse practitioners to physician offices, clinics and other health care settings introduces a new midlevel of care - and sometimes confusion - to the practice of medicine. For patients, they don't always understand what that midlevel means, so they'll often refer to their nurse practitioner as 'Dr. Rubel' or 'Dr. Spalding,'" said Carol Collier-Smith, clinical director of ECHO Community Health Care.

- Nurse Practitioners Forge Ahead to Save Health Care in Maryland
WALDORF, Md., March 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The state of Maryland is entrenched in a major health care crisis. The state has over 810,000 uninsured people and it is well documented that rural and inner city areas have little or no access to healthcare. Those who live in the larger Maryland cities don't have it much better, with the federal government declaring Baltimore a designated primary care shortage area. There are over 3,400 answers to the primary care shortage in Maryland - the 3,400 highly qualified and skilled Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who live and practice in the state. For 45 years, NPs have been providing primary, acute and chronic care to patients of all ages and walks of life. And now there is a bill before the Maryland General Assembly that will improve access to th...
