Hi, I'm Karthik, a nurse practitioner.
What is a nurse practitioner?
A nurse practitioner is a nurse who has studied for extra years. They learn to do many of the same jobs a doctor does.
They can give checkups, care for sick kids and order tests. At a visit, they might look in your ears and mouth with a small light. You can take slow, deep breaths when they listen to your heart and lungs.
At the end, the nurse practitioner often tells you and your grown-up what they found.
Thanks for watching!
