what’s the difference between a doctor and a nurse practitioner?

Not sure which flair to use but I was wondering what the difference between the two is. I understand the academic background is different but if both can diagnose, prescribe, and treat patients, what’s the difference in terms of scope of practice?

From a labor perspective, there’s not enough doctors to meet the needs of our growing population; therefore you’re seeing a provider that’s been put in place to maintain the continuity of care in your community.
