| Laurentian University's nurse practitioner class
|
| Tuesday
|
Thousands more patients, many of them orphan patients, will be able to access primary health care in the North with the graduation of 11 students from Laurentian University's 2008 nurse practitioner class.
The first nurse practitioners graduated from Laurentian's School of Nursing in 1996 and 24 more are expected to graduate in 2009.
Offered via distance education, the nurse practitioner program attracts nurses from northeastern Ontario who qualify by having a university nursing degree, years of relevant professional experience and meeting the requirements for previous academic achievement.
Each graduate of a Nurse Practitioner Education program must pass a gruelling licensing exam to practise as an NP.
"Nurse practitioners order laboratory tests, diagnose illnesses and prescribe medication and treatments, independently," said Marilyn Butcher, a nurse practitioner and clinic director of the Sudbury District Nurse Practitioner Clinics.
Nurse practitioners work in a team, consulting with health-care providers such as physicians, pharmacists, social workers, midwives and more, "ensuring that the individual and family receive the best possible care," said Butcher.
All 11 graduates from the 2008 class are employed as nurse practitioners.
Jennifer Clement, originally from McKerrow, has accepted a position with the Sudbury District Nurse Practitioner Clinics. Making history as the first NP-led clinic in Canada, its impact on access to care is significant since only orphan patients are accepted. source
