How is a Nurse Practitioner different to a Registered Nurse?
-
Knowledge & Experience
NPs are highly skilled and experienced clinicians with a Bachelor of Nursing and a Masters of Nursing, inclusive of over 5000 hours of specialty experience.
They work collaboratively with Medical and Allied Health professionals to optimise patient care.
-
Assess, Diagnose & Treat
NPs are qualified to perform comprehensive assessments, make diagnoses, order pathology tests and imaging, prescribe medication and provide specialist referrals.
-
Eligible for Medicare Rebates
NP consultations are eligible for a Medicare Rebate in most circumstances. NPs are authorised to prescribe medication under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
