A survey evaluating the current role of the nurse practitioner in urology.

The role of the nurse practitioner (NP) continues to expand into the care of specialty populations. This article presents results of a survey that allowed NPs who self-identified as working specifically with people diagnosed with urologic conditions to describe their clinical role. The purpose of identifying NP-specific clinical tasks was to provide evidence to be used in revising the urology specialty certification examination for NPs.
