About Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner Jobs
A Registered Nurse who has completed specific advanced training is called a Nurse Practitioner. There are more than 125,000 Nurse Practitioners practicing in the United States but only a small percentage is working as Hospitalist NPs. Their training and experience with inpatient medicine make them ideal candidates to collaborate with the hospitalist team.
Depending on state regulation a nurse practitioner could work independently of physicians while, in other states, collaboration with a physician may be required. Their scope of care range from diagnosis, treatment, obtaining medical history, physical examinations, etc. They may even prescribe medications.(Source: AANP)
