RNP Professional Title Abbreviation

Registered Nurse Practitioner

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has higher education and training in a particular area, such as pediatrics or family practice. Nurse practitioners have a master’s degree, known as a MSN, as well as board certification in their specialty. Any registered nurse would be expected to deliver medical treatment and care to a variety of patients, sometimes under the supervision of doctors. However, when you earn a Master of Science degree in nursing, otherwise referred to as a MSN, you will be able to start honing in on a particular aspect of your nursing knowledge.
