There are a lot of nurse practitioners in the U.S.—more than 400,000 (compared to about 900,000 physicians and doctors), and we’re training 40,000 a year. But it is not entirely clear how they will be used. Lynn Rapsilber is a nurse practitioner whose organization, the National Nurse Practitioner Entrepreneur Network, is working to help her fellow nurse practitioners with their professional and business development. She came to THCB to discuss how NPs are developing and how she believes they will contribute in the future as we address the current crisis in primary care.Matthew Holt
