0 No, not really, Antonia - in Br.E you can be a "senior nurse" without being a nurse practioner. "Senior nurse" relates more to management training (at least in Br E). I suppose a loose translation of "nurse practitioner" might be "nurse paramedic" - although so far as I know this position does not actually exist. 0-
