Question: is a registered nurse a mid level provider

Answer: No, Mid-level practitioners, also called assistant practice clinicians, are health care providers who have received different training and have a more restricted scope of practice than physicians and other health professionals in some states, but who do have a formal certificate and accreditation through the licensing bodies in their jurisdictions. Advanced Practice Provider (APP) is a term which Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Anesthetists, Physician Assistants, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Nurse Midwives often prefer for themselves rather than``Mid-level provider''. The terms ``Mid-level provider'' or ``Mid-level practitioners'' have been widely accepted for many years however and are commonly used by most physicians as well as by the Federal Government of the United States. Many providers simply prefer their professional title, such as nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA).
