A lot of entitlement here. You should apply for hospitalist positions if you can't do the 5 day a work week thing. As a new grad NP I hope people take this video to be educated to not pursue this field with an attitude if you are going to be like this person. Next.

And they still don’t want us to be called Doctor. And even with that depending on state, you may not have full prescriptive authority. I’d hate to have my doctorate in Texas and a MD still has to sign off on my work and doesn’t let me be called Dr.

Happy you untucked the shirt and yeah, just let me know not to buy. I was looking at the same shirt in cinnamon but I like fitted tops. Figs Inhala is slim fit. I have big boobs, I don’t need the shirts just hanging off of them. I hate that. I’m not trying to look like a nun or that I’m wearing a garbage bag with pockets. The pants seem great, but they need slim fit tops

What’s your opinion on Pediatric Nurse Practitioner? I feel this is my passion but scared because I’m not sure if they’re in high demand. Maybe I should just do FNP as a safety net?
@sidneymonica2 ай бұрын
FNP’s can work with newborns all the way to older adults. So that would be a good options. Pediatric is a sub-specialty so you can work in peds as an FNP. The program requires pediatric clinical hours as well. I’m not sure if there is a whole program dedicated only to pediatric. Hope that was helpful

@sidneymonica2 ай бұрын
You most welcome 🫶🏽 I would say the options are limitless, NP are needed at most primary and specialty offices. I would advise considering which setting in nephrology ( inpatient or outpatient) which determines the education route and Clincal requirements. Further, maybe working in nephrology as an RN to see if you like it. That’s a fantastic long term goal to open your own practice. I wish you the very best in your career and future goals.

This video isn’t an accurate depiction of how things actually go, even if however you “feel” as tho they should. Everyone knows the medical field compensates off time in service not feelings. There’s no way you or any new NP even if you have your doctorate and training to be paid like an NP of 15+ years knock it off‼️

Dissertation required a whole semester ( 4 months) to complete. I would say they are both challenging. A lot of writing and research for Both. In addition to clincals and didactic courses. Trust me school is only the foundation once you are working that’s where the real knowledge and experience comes in. I felt the same way, now I am a skilled and confident provider.

I've been a CNA for 11 years (too long lol) and I'm currently back in college taking my pre reqs for my ADN in nursing. I plan to get my BSN at Capella shortly after graduating but my ultimate goal is my DNP. I traveled as a CNA for a year and I wish I had invested my money. Investing, stocks and all that stuff is so convoluted to me. Could you do a video on your investments? :)
