The Role
The Orthopedic role at a glance
Orthopedic nurse practitioners work across sports medicine, joint replacement, and spine practices: fracture care, joint injections, pre- and post-operative management, and first-assist duties in the OR for surgical roles.
The typical week mixes clinic (new injuries, post-op checks, injections) with OR days for NPs credentialed to first-assist. Patient populations run from student athletes to joint-replacement candidates.
Requirements & certification
- Graduate NP degree with national certification through AANPCB or ANCC (family or adult-gerontology track per the practice population)
- The optional ONP-C credential through the Orthopaedic Nurses Certification Board (ONCB) recognizes orthopedic NP practice
- Surgical roles require RNFA or first-assist credentialing per hospital policy
- Active state APRN licensure, with casting, splinting, and joint-injection skills as standard screens

Hands-On Procedures
