Nurse Practitioner

The world has the impact of changes in the medical field radically, particularly in the

nursing field. Several career paths have evolved in the field, and nowadays, we have a nursing

practitioner who never existed before. Besides, the nursing field has evolved into many roles–

driven area of healthcare. Notably, specialists in the nursing filed have been offering elusive care

to patients from different backgrounds with an extensive range of diverse illnesses, ailments, and

wounds. Due to their importance in the medical field, there is no doubt that new and inventive

positions have come about that consent nursing specialists to have many roles to the patients they

attend to.

On the same note, family nurse practitioners are well known for their ability to work

collaboratively and unconventionally. As a result, those who have luckily earned this progressive

practice nursing degree to find career chances in several settings, including hospital clinics and

home healthcare, among others. I have reviewed different environments that a nurse practitioner

works, and I have concluded that I will be working in the home healthcare setting, particularly in

the rural areas, because those areas have been severely affected by the state shortage of nurse

practitioners.

Besides, there is a huge gap in care available to patients in the rural areas, and we as

nurse practitioner have the advantage that we can work autonomously in many conditions all

over the nation; therefore, I will be able to deliver required health services to those vulnerable

patients in the rural areas. Additionally, people in rural areas have been left behind, and most of

them are unaware of the importance of some vaccines, even in the young ones. While working

with the community, I will shed light on those individuals and teach them the importance of

quality healthcare to them.
