Overview

A nurse practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice registered nurse with additional clinical education and training that enables the assessment, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of health conditions. Nurse practitioners provide primary, acute, and preventive care across the lifespan, often ordering and interpreting tests, prescribing treatments, and coordinating care, sometimes independently and sometimes in collaboration with physicians and other professionals. They play an important role in expanding access to care and in delivering holistic, patient-centered services. Within Clinical and Practical Nursing, research examines the practice, education, and impact of advanced and specialized nursing care. Work published in the journal on holistic nursing in intensive-care settings, on aligning organizational structure with values to improve outcomes, and on training models for clinical skills reflects the broad scope of professional nursing in which nurse practitioners operate. Such studies illustrate how nursing practice is developed and applied to improve patient care. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to nurse practitioners and clinical nursing, offering an evidence-based resource for readers interested in advanced nursing roles, clinical practice, and the delivery of comprehensive patient care.
