Patterns of practice: Master's prepared nurse practitioners.

Graduates of the Primary Care-Family Nurse Clinician Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing were surveyed as part of an overall, ongoing evaluation of graduate level primary care education in the school. The main focus of the survey was to discover the scope of practice characteristic of the program graduates. The survey revealed that the majority of graduates were providing direct patient care, while some were teaching primary care or embarking on related forms of practice. The graduates were found to be involved in assessment, education and counseling, and were working with physicians and others to provide comprehensive patient care.
