‘NursePractitionerProgramGuides’ Is Outstanding Source of Information About Accredited NP Programs

Tempe, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 02/18/2012 --According to experts, the health care industry is continuing to thrive despite the still-struggling economy. In fact, the medical profession is growing even faster than physicians are graduating from medical school, which is leading to shortages in the workforce.

As a result, this is an ideal time for anyone who has considered pursuing a career as a nurse practitioner or advanced practice nurse. Most who work in this field of work find it to be an extremely rewarding as well as stable profession.

Becoming a nurse practitioner does require a certain level of education; a registered nurse must also graduate from an accredited nurse practitioner program and earn a masters in nursing degree. For those who would like to earn the advanced degree, knowing which nurse practitioner schools are best may feel overwhelming; there are so many programs that are available and it can be hard to select which one is best.

A website has been creating quite a buzz lately for its vast amount of helpful information and listings of the top tier nurse practitioner schools and programs.

NursePractitionerProgramGuides is an outstanding online resource for both new students just starting out and those who are already working as registered nurses but wish to go back to school to earn an advanced nursing degree, either in a traditional college or through online nurse practitioner programs.

“The person who should get a nurse practitioner degree is one who is interested in taking education to the next level,” an article on the website explained, adding that the benefits of obtaining a higher degree in nursing include research posts, faculty positions, teaching positions, mentoring, and nursing leadership.

“This is someone interested in going beyond the role of a registered nurse. Nurse practitioners can work independent of physicians. Also, this role opens up opportunities for greater salaries, supervisory positions, and in some cases business ownership.”

In addition to listings of the top family nurse practitioner programs and schools, the website has a comprehensive section of answers to some of the most frequently-asked-questions about anything and everything related to becoming a nurse practitioner. This includes information on admission requirements, approximately how much one can expect to earn, what the courses and curriculum is like, and if online nurse practitioner programs take a shorter amount of time to complete than those offered at traditional universities.
