The Ultimate Nurse Practitioner Guidebook: A Comprehensive Guide to
Getting Into and Surviving Nurse Practitioner School, Finding a Job, and

The nurse practitioner profession is one of the fastest-growing medical
professions in the United States. With the passing of the Affordable
Care Act, millions of Americans have become insured, with NPs filling
the gap and providing affordable access to care. NPs work in all 50
states plus the District of Columbia, and they have complete autonomy in
many states. Nurse practitioners see patients of all ages and in a wide
variety of settings, write prescriptions, and order labs and tests, all
while providing excellent patient care.
The Ultimate Nurse Practitioner Guidebook aims to help anyone interested
in a career as a nurse practitioner determine whether it is the right
path for them, and will also help current NP students successfully
complete their programs. This book is a must-read for those who are
interested in attending nurse practitioner school, current nurse
practitioner students, and even practicing NPs.
