>> My name is Lisa Stevenson.
I'm a nurse practitioner.
And that means that I am able to see patients and treat the -- diagnose their illnesses,
and treat them, and manage their health on an ongoing basis.
So a nurse practitioner must have a Master's degree.
And it generally takes about three years to complete.
There's -- certainly there's an educational component,
and then there are clinical rotations.
So I did -- you know, I do have a Master's degree, as all nurse practitioners do.
