Question 1
APNs, also known in full as Advanced Practice Nurses are nurses who have been certified to look into the needs of patients without the presence or direction of a doctor or physician. These nurses are more educated and have higher levels of competence compared to other nurses and this enables them to work without the supervision of a doctor.
