Maria is thinking
about becoming
a nurse
practitioner.
I’m considering taking
someone on part-time. Let’s
try to coordinate schedules.
That’s a great idea.
Are you planning to
work while you
study?
I’m hoping it will be possible.
I’m trying to work out a
schedule that will let me stay
on here.
Becoming a Nurse Practitioner
• Last summer Maria received her degree as
a registered nurse (RN) from Lincoln
University. She is currently working at
Mercy Hospital and living in a small
apartment near her job. Soon she's going
to be working in an allergy clinic. She’ll be
giving injections and testing patients with
allergies and other complaints.
• Yesterday Maria was talking to another
nurse about her work last year and her plans
for the future. Last year she was working
during the day as a licensed practical nurse
(LPN) and attending classes four evenings a
week. She was living at home and looking
for an apartment in her free time. At work,
Maria was assisting a doctor and performing
simple lab tests. Maria’s position this year
involves more responsibility, and she is
enjoying her job. However, she wants even
more independence.
• For this reason, Maria is considering a
special program at the state college. She is
hoping to become a nurse in a private clinic.
In this position, she will have even more
responsibility. In three years, she will be
treating patients, diagnosing their problems,
planning their treatment, and prescribing
medication. It’s going to be a lot more work,
but Maria is looking forward to the
challenge.
• an allergy： an unusually high sensitivity and
reactions to substances such as certain plants,

• to diagnose： to identify a disease, ailment, or
