Under the supervision and direction of the Boulder City Primary Care Medical Officer and the Primary Clinic ED Nursing Director, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) interviews and examines patients to diagnose illnesses and injuries. The NP orders diagnostic tests, prescribes medications, and recommends lifestyle changes to treat both short-term and long-term patient care needs. The NP serves as a resource for staff and students on patient management strategies and participates in clinic and affiliated committees and educational activities. The NP also helps establish and maintain policies, procedures, and protocols for the Primary Care Clinic.
