Did you know that nursing has been considered the most trusted profession in the United States for the last 19 years according to the Gallup poll? That’s because nurses tend to spend more quality time with patients than other healthcare providers, listening to patients’ concerns, administering medication, advocating for their needs, and ensuring their overall well-being by providing comfort and emotional support.
Not only that but it is projected that nurse practitioners (NPs) are expected to be the fastest-growing occupation in the United States over the next decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, due in part to a shortage of physicians.
Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) like NPs can provide the same essential services as physicians, such as writing prescriptions without any major differences in patient health outcomes. In fact, in some cases, NPs demonstrate better outcomes that result in fewer hospitalizations and higher patient satisfaction rates.
Nurses play a significant role as holistic caregivers, patient advocates, and medical leaders. Not only do they have unique skills and insight to treat the whole individual, but they also serve as a vital link between compassionate and evidence-based healthcare. Nurse practitioners apply their skills in various settings, including hospitals, hospices, government facilities, and especially in community clinics. For example, right here in Washington, D.C., comprehensive nurse-led medical support is provided by Community Concierge Care (C3).
