Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 9 page paper discussing increased utilization of nurse practitioners for direct patient care at an HIV/AIDS clinic. Increased utilization of NPs in an HIV/AIDS clinic can bring about several benefits, including patient responsiveness, financial considerations and ability to see greater numbers of patients. Patients are likely to build closer interpersonal relationships with NPs than with MDs, which can benefit patients in a variety of ways, including how they manage their disease. Much of the territorial posturing by the medical community is falling away, enabling NPs and MDs to work in better cooperation for the good of their patients. Bibliography lists 18 sources.

There is danger in stereotyping any group, including nurse practitioners. But there is a feature of NP practice that moves beyond stereotype into the
realm of a common characteristic. That is that nurses generally have a different attitude toward patients than do physicians. MDs often complain that NPs have less education than
they do and so are less valuable in health care (Cys, 2004). NPs are and have been nurses first, and a requirement for the Masters degree necessary for NP
certification is that those seeking NP status are RNs with clinical experience. As a primary role of the nurse (RN) is to educate patients as well as care for
them, NPs carry this duty into practice as an NP. What this means for the patient is that s/he is in the care of one who has chosen a
