Black patients and Nurse Practitioner
Black nurse practitioners (NPs): primary, mental health, and specialty care. NPs often have shorter waits and full prescriptive authority in most states.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are master's- or doctoral-prepared advanced practice nurses who diagnose, treat, and prescribe. In most states they practice independently. For Black patients, NPs often offer shorter wait times than physicians and more appointment availability. About 7 percent of U.S. NPs are Black (AANP, 2023), higher representation than most physician specialties.
