A growing number of nurse practitioners (NPs) are employed in nursing homes (NHs) through various NP staffing mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to examine if having NH-employed NPs was associated with nursing staff turnover and resident care outcomes measured as hospital utilization, infection control citations, and substantiated complaints in NHs in 2021 – 2022.
