Advanced Practice Nurse (APN)

An Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) is a registered nurse who has fulfilled advanced educational and clinical practice requirements that go beyond the basic nursing education necessary for all registered nurses. This advanced training allows APNs to provide a broader range of healthcare services, including diagnosis and management of common as well as complex medical conditions. APNs often specialize in specific areas of healthcare, such as family practice, pediatrics, or geriatrics, and may work independently or in collaboration with physicians and other healthcare professionals.
