Subject: Nurse Practitioners en español?

Nurse Practitioners provide a large portion of health services to migrant

workers and their families.

How is the title " nurse practitioner " being translated into Spanish? We've been

using 'enfermero/a especialista' but have recently been advised to use

'enfermero/a practicante'. Neither term really reflects 'nurse practitioner' too

well. In the clinic setting, most clients use the title 'doctor/a' but that is

usually not the correct title and we don't want to promote that inaccuracy.

We're creating a brief brochure explaining NP services, so we want to put into

print a title that is as meaningful and accurate as possible. What are other

folks using? Gracias.
