KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. - Marguerite Harris and her staff of eight provide  
prenatal care and child immunizations, write prescriptions, and diagnose and  treat 
ailments from diabetes to the sniffles.  
Though it may sound like a typical doctor's office, no one on staff at  
Project Salud is a doctor. The medical center is run by nurse practitioners —  
registered nurses with specialized training and advanced degrees — whose numbers  
have risen from 30,000 in 1990 to 115,000 today.
