Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Health Service currently has two transitional Nurse Practitioners.
 Who are we?
Nurse Practitioners are Registered Nurses (RN) who have post-graduate training in an
area of speciality at an advanced level.
What do we do?
The Nurse Practitioner has the ability to perform more
procedures and have greater authority than a registered nurse in their specialty area. The training is rigorous for those who have obtained the Nurse Practitioner authorisation and in
some instances they may be able to prescribe some medications and treatments normally performed
by a doctor.
Authorisation is conferred by the
Nurses Registration Board of NSW and consists of a rigorous process, including a case study and a clinical
review interview based upon the case study.
