## Scope

United States. The statistics bureau projects employment of nurse practitioners to grow from 336,300 in 2025 to 474,100 in 2035, 41 percent. It attributes growth to increased demand for healthcare services, the ageing population and growing prevalence of chronic disease, and says that as states change their laws governing practice authority, advanced practice registered nurses are being allowed to perform more services. It does not mention technology.

Check what your state allows nurse practitioners to do without physician oversight.
