Benefits of a Nurse Practitioner:

A Nurse Practioner (NP) is a Registered Nurse with advanced education, usually a masters degree in nursing. NPs are licensed in their state to diagnose, treat, prescribe medication and evaluate outcomes of a patient's health condition. Nurses have more daily contact with the medical record than any other member of the health care team. As such, they are familiar with every aspect of the record. A Nurse Practitioner gives the added advantage of understanding medical diagnosis and treatment, in addition to nursing diagnosis. Attorneys achieve cost effectiveness in medical case screening, investigation and development through utilizing a nurse with added education and experience in medical diagnosis and treatment.

• Personal Injury
• Workers' Compensation
• Toxic Tort
