Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice nurses who are educated at a Masters or Doctorate level and have additional training with a focus on primary health care. Nurse Practitioners provide comprehensive clinical care including the diagnosis and management of disease/illness, prenatal care, prescribing medications, ordering/interpreting laboratory/diagnostic tests, and initiating referrals to specialists when needed. NP practice does not require physician supervision. For your primary health care in BC, you can choose to see a Family Physician or a Nurse Practitioner. Nurse Practitioners are regulated by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) and have been regulated to practice in BC since 2005.
