(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 13, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- NursePractitionerSchoolGuides.org recently launched a new info-graphic for nurses looking to go back to school. This informative piece highlights the benefits of graduate degrees for nurses. This includes diagnostic testing, along with patient health education and counseling. Nursing practitioners can also prescribe medications for patients, as well as treatment for acute and chronic conditions.
One of the most important aspects of NP careers is the flexibility it offers. In fact, nurse practitioners can perform clinical services independently of physicians. They also help reduce healthcare costs for individual patients and businesses. The infographic lists precise figures and statistics on nurse practitioner careers. This includes the fact that there are over 150,000 nurse practitioners in the U.S. alone. While they are paid less than doctors, they do offer the same services as primary care physicians.
In addition to offering a broad range of health care services, nurse practitioners save taxpayer expenditures across the board. According to the infographic, NP clinics bill around 80% of what doctors normally bill. This results in substantial savings in costs per patient. Comprehensive nurse practitioner care also helps hospitals and other medical clinics reduce costs as well.
According to recent figures, over 55 million U.S. residents are experiencing a shortage of primary care physicians. This can lead to poor health management, along with a rise in chronic diseases and medical ailments. For a fraction of the cost, these patients can secure optimal care from a licensed and dedicated nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners combine specialty training with superior care to ensure timely results. Like physicians, they accept a range of health insurance plans as well.
