Overview
Little is taught to the NP about business since the focus is on clinical skill mastery. NPs are a valuable commodity to a business whether they are employed or own their practice. A recent study published in the JAANP reveals that many NPs know little about the value they bring to a practice. Business education is simply not taught in school. We learn it through the school of hard knocks and if we are lucky, from great mentors. A nurse practitioner who understands their value and can leverage it will be more successful in their career.
