A Women's Health nurse practitioner is a R.N. (Registered Nurse) who has completed specialty training in both obstetrics and gynecology. The education process provides her with health problem solving capabilities that enable her to offer a high level of health care to women.
As a nurse practitioner, I function as an integral part of our practice and perform many diagnostic and therapeutic tasks. These tasks include routine exams and pap smears, pre-natal and post-partum exams and gynecological problems. In addition I am trained to counsel patients in birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, PMS, menopause, PCOS , infertility, with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention.
