Nurse practitioners play a crucial role in the modern healthcare system given their responsibilities in administering patient care. One of the critical components in the delivery of healthcare services in the modern healthcare setting is collaboration between different stakeholders. Modern healthcare environments and settings are characterized by the establishment of a multidisciplinary team that provides patient care. Consequently, nurse practitioners are required to collaborate with others, particularly physicians in their respective roles in the care delivery process. Stewart & DeNisco (2019) states that collaboration among healthcare providers or clinicians is based on shared goals and decision making, mutual relationships, and use of collective knowledge of all stakeholders involved in the care process.
Collaboration with physicians has tremendous impacts on the practice and job satisfaction for nurse practitioners. The collaboration changes the practice of nurse practitioners by shifting their focus to patient-care, holistic care. When collaborating with physicians, nurse practitioners help streamline patient care processes. The collaboration provides the premise with which nurse practitioners involve patients in the decision making process while providing them with necessary tools for managing their conditions (Stewart & DeNisco, 2019).
Since collaboration enables nurse practitioners to streamline patient care, it contributes toward improved job satisfaction. The improved job satisfaction is attributable to the fact that the streamlined patient care contributes to better patient outcomes. Nurse practitioners are among clinicians who experience increased job satisfaction based on collegial relationships brought...…the job since effectiveness in NP role requires alignment of qualifications with scope of practice (Dillon & Hoyson, 2014). The nurse practitioner should thoroughly read the job descriptions and identify areas where his/her skills and qualifications match what is required. Once the nurse practitioner has reviewed his/her qualifications, he should read and examine the different interview styles that are likely to be used by the interviewers.

When examining the different interview styles, the nurse practitioner should practice answering the interview questions in different ways. Through this process, the nurse practitioners becomes better prepared for the interview environment and the different interview techniques.
Today, health care in the United States is characterized by growing demand combined with skyrocketing costs and critical shortages of qualified health care practitioners. In response to these challenges, there has also been a growing consensus among health care providers that nurse practitioners possess the education, training and expertise that are required to provide high quality medical services for a wide array of disorders. In fact, some studies have indicated
What is the current level of autonomy among NPs? How independent are nurse practitioners? It is well-known that NPs desire and deserve autonomy -- which gives NPs "substantial control over [their] professional practice" (Bahadori, et al., 2009, p. 513). The research conducted by Bahadori and colleagues shows that of 48 primary care NPs (all of whom attended a state clinical conference in Florida and completed a detailed questionnaire with 30 items
Nursing: Nurse Practitioner The advanced practice nurse is a graduate with a master's or doctorate degree in nursing, certified to guide others in using the nursing process to maximize the community's health outcomes (Smith & Rose, 2011). These nurses are prepared to pursue either direct practice roles, where they interact directly with families and patients to improve their well-being through disease management, or indirect practice roles, where they take a leadership
The NP emphasizes health promotion, while, particularly in North America, the MD primarily focuses on disease treatment. The role of the NP and the MD are simultaneously similar yet differ from each other. Consequently, no reason supports the contention that one group must be dependent and the other dependent. "Measuring NP performance against the physician (or any other group) as the gold standard is inappropriate because the philosophical approach
