It primarily depends upon the degree and specialization, but as a general rule of thumb - it is. A nurse practitioner has either a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree.

Each of these has additional responsibilities above and beyond that of a registered nurse and are comparable to a nurse practitioner other than they are in different fields and responsibilities.
