An Emergency Medicine Nurse Practitioner provides frontline patient care in both outpatient and inpatient settings, assessing, diagnosing, and treating emergency cases. Responsibilities include performing procedures such as suturing, abscess drainage, fracture reduction, and splint application while ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests. Collaboration with physicians is common, with tasks including prescribing medications and preparing patient discharges, typically working 12-hour shifts in a high-volume emergency environment.
