Celebrate National Nurse Practitioner Week with Health Carousel Locum Tenens
Happy NP Week to more than 248,000 nurse practitioners who provide patient-centered, accessible, high-quality health care to millions of patients nationwide.In a population that is aging, with baby boomers becoming seniors in growing numbers over the next 10 years, the role of NPs are becoming even more crucial to our healthcare landscape. Focusing not only on diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses, NPs integrate health promotion, disease prevention, counseling and patient education to help patients understand their complete health picture.
