Barriers to and strategies for sustainable progress Racism in nursing not only contradicts the core values of our profession but also undermines the quality of care we provide.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and medical doctors (MDs) spend their days making a difference in people’s lives. Providers in both professions treat patient illnesses and injuries with the best science and acute care techniques. In the U.S. healthcare system (depending on the state), both can serve as primary care providers. The main difference between a nurse practitioner and doctor is that NPs undergo less training than MDs —so their responsibilities differ.
