Womens Health Nursing

women's health nurse practitioner (WHNP) is a nurse practitioner that specializes in continuing and comprehensive healthcare for women across the lifespan with emphasis on conditions unique to women from menarche through the remainder of their life cycle.

A women’s health nurse practitioner provides healthcare to women. As with other nurse practitioner roles, in some states a WHNP still must work under the supervision of a physician, but that is a standard that is changing quickly throughout the U.S. It is most common for WHNPs to work in an office setting or at a facility that specializes in women’s health care, family planning, or other reproductive services. Other WHNPs may divide their time between offices and hospital settings, as well as academic research and teaching. Although the focus of a WHNP’s practice may be largely gynecological or childbearing-oriented, a WHNP is trained to address many different health issues that are unique to women. Not only can a WHNP provide care for acute and chronic health problems, but they are also skilled in offering health counseling services as well as preventative services, and referrals to relevant specialists when necessary. WHNPs generally work with patients beginning at puberty through their advanced years, providing health care, disease prevention, and health promotion services.
