Perception of Role of Nurse Practitioners

Nurse practitioners play a role in providing care to patients after undergoing full

training and obtaining a practitioner license. They work with other team members in the

healthcare setting, including the physicians, lab technicians, social workers and

physiotherapists in providing patient care. I also know that they carry out their duties depending

on their area of specialization and can work in various healthcare settings such as rehabilitation

centres, hospitals, and long-term care settings.

I have met various nurse practitioners in the healthcare setting, especially the outpatient

setting, when seeking care. They have good communication and listening skills and build a

good rapport with patients during care provision. I was satisfied with how they provided care

with compassion and handled all the patient's problems with confidence. I like the nursing

profession mainly because it involves helping families, individuals and communities achieve

better health outcomes, save lives and improve their quality of life.I also like how the nursing

profession has adverse opportunities, and a NP can work in various settings and contribute to

projects and research in the area of specialization.

I want to become a nurse practitioner because of the flexible schedule and the

opportunity to advance in my area of choice. Saving people’s lives is another motivation that

makes me want to become a nurse practitioner. Through this, I will be able to do my best to

ensure patient satisfaction of better health outcomes. I think it is vital for the NP profession to

ensure that the working conditions in the various healthcare settings where NP practice is good.

They are constantly exposed to pathogens and toxins when working and therefore provide

protective equipment to help prevent various health risks.
