Ultimate Locum Tenens, an organization affiliated with Roth Staffing Companies (one of the largest privately-held staffing companies in the country), is celebrating National Nurse Practitioner Week on November 9-15th, 2014 to spread awareness of the importance of Nurse Practitioners in America’s healthcare system.
According to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, there are nearly 200,000 practicing NPs in America providing support to physicians and medical professionals. Ultimate Locum Tenens is launching an email campaign announcing National Nurse Practitioner Week and encouraging hospitals and medical organizations to recognize the accomplished Nurse Practitioners they work with every day.
“All medical professionals play important roles but we’re seeing a distinct trend with regard to Nurse Practitioners: an increased number are on the front lines of patient care, playing an ever more essential part in the healthcare system,” says Don Robb, Vice President of Ultimate Locum Tenens. “With a shortage of physicians in healthcare organizations around the country, more patients are turning to Nurse Practitioners for primary care, treatment for acute and chronic conditions, medications, and counsel regarding overall wellness, leading to more than 900 million visits per year. That’s why everyone at Ultimate Locum Tenens is proud to observe National Nurse Practitioner Week this November!”
