Your career path to independence.

Approximately 15% of all nurse practitioners have their own private practices.* That’s because today’s nurse practitioners have the advanced skills to care for individuals through every stage of life and treat a variety of conditions.

The Kaiser Family Foundation agrees that nurse practitioners can provide 80-90% of the care that primary care physicians offer. This is especially important because 58 million Americans live in areas where the supply of primary care physicians doesn’t meet federal standards.

Nurse practitioners are stepping up to meet this need by providing care independently and gaining autonomy.
