Herzing大学

No, we are not a for-profit university. Herzing大学 is a nonprofit educational institution 截至2015年.

Precise scope of practice can vary by state and employer. The American 联系 of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) provides a 简短的总结 of the scope of practice common to all nurse practitioners.

You may have some initial questions about what a WHNP can and can’t do. 例如，WHNP能否…

• 写处方? Yes, nurse practitioners may write prescriptions.
• 见男性患者? Yes, some WHNPs may treat men. WHNPs are educationally prepared to care for individuals inclusive of sex, gender, 或者性取向.
• 接生? No, only midwives or obstetricians (Obstetrics and Gynecology - OBGYN) can deliver babies.
• 产前护理? Yes, WHNP can provide pregnancy testing, fertility evaluation, prenatal visits, and postpartum care. 
• Be called an “OBGYN” nurse practitioner? Some WHNP may be informally regarded as an OBGYN NP if their care focuses primarily on the pregnancy, 分娩, 以及产后时期. However, no WHNP has the same scope of practice as an OBGYN physician (or nurse midwife).
• 做乳房x光检查? No. WHNP can order mammograms but they do not perform the actual exams.

You’ll learn more specifics over the course of the WHNP program.

The National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health’s Guidelines for Practice and Education outline a large list of WHNP competencies across several important categories:

• 以客户为中心的护理
• 初级护理
• Women’s gynecologic, sexual, reproductive, menopause-transition, and post-menopause healthcare
• Male sexual and reproductive healthcare
• 产科护理
• 专业的作用

The 2018 NPWH Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Workforce Demographics and Compensation Survey highlights several environments in which WHNPs practice, including:

• 私人诊所
• 社区卫生中心
• 医院诊所
• 学术医疗中心
• 学校和学院
• 惩教设施
• 住院的设置
• 病人的家庭

WHNPs可以在城市工作, suburban, 或者农村地区, and may also potentially provide telehealth services (remote care).

根据 2018 NPWH Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Workforce Demographics and Compensation Survey, the significant majority of WHNP describe direct patient care as their primary role (84%).

Some WHNP may work in academia, management/administration, research, or health policy/advocacy. 

However, at this time there are no separate certifications for different types of WHNP: only the primary WHNP-BC certification from the National Certification Corporation (NCC).
