Nurses and nurse practitioners are health care professionals. Nurses are men and women who are responsible (along with other health care professionals) for the treatment, safety and recovery of acutely or chronically ill or injured people, health maintenance of the healthy, and treatment of life-threatening emergencies in a wide range of health care settings. Nurses may also be involved in medical and nursing research and perform a wide range of non-clinical functions necessary to the delivery of health care. Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses who have completed advanced education, typically at least a minimum of a masters degree, as well as training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses.
