Nurse practitioner careers generally require a masters or doctoral degree and training management of common or complex medical conditions. Also, nurse practitioner employment is restricted to functioning within the scope of their state's nurse practice act and each state board of nursing has its own licensing and certification criteria. A nurse practitioner can also apply for national certification from one of the various professional nursing organizations. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) or the American Nurses Credentialing Center (AANCC).

A nurse practitioner also discusses cases with physicians and other professionals to formulate health care plans for patients. Periodic reviews by physicians may also take place although currently there is a push for nurses to achieve greater autonomy. A great candidate to fill a nurse practitioner position would possess excellent communication skills and superior medical knowledge.
