Nurse Practitioners can handle a good bit of every day things. If that's who shows up, the article is being disingenuous.

I came here to say that Nurse Practitioners are the ones who can do perscriptions. Not regular Registered Nurses. For anybody who might not already know. And correct it is only a doctor who can prescribe certain types of medications, likely stronger medications.

It actually depends on the state. The amount of power a NP varies quite a bit.
