What Roles Can Nurses Play in Mitigating the Shortage?
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) can play a crucial role in addressing the shortage of primary care providers. These professionals are highly trained and capable of providing a wide range of healthcare services, often comparable to those provided by physicians. By leveraging the skills of NPs and APRNs, healthcare systems can alleviate some of the pressure caused by the shortage.
