Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm starting my first PNP job next month and I was also offered to teach clinical one day a week. I've been skeptical about taking the teaching job and working my first PNP job all at once for all the reasons you just listed in your video. I'm going to decline the teaching job, I don't need more stress in my life. Thanks for solidifying my decision!😌

My friend so gorgeous! 🤩🤩🤩

10:38 IM SCREAMING 😭💀

Burnout is real but you sure don’t look it! Gorgeous and glowing per usual! 💗✨

Super informative. Thank you sharing.

How do you navigate the purple book? I’m Just reading it? I did chapter one and 😂

Can you list some of the most common acute conditions you've treated so far? I'm a new grad and very nervous to start my first job

Yayyy I’ve been waiting for you to drop again🥳 I start Emory’s MN+MSN program in May and I’m so excited I love watching your videos!

😂😂😂😂 that man yelling no,No,no lol 🤣🤣🤣😂

Your teeth are so white and pretty!

Do you have a lunch bag? I have the new Tabitha brown lunch bag. Would it fit in this size? I’m too short for the original size.

Love watching your videos. I would be interested in seeing an up date on your classmates who you interviewed from emory

Why are so many health/medical professionals so tired??? Can you do a video on that?

Love this style video! Also, black beans and rice with avocado really does hit the spot.

Love the new intro Nandi! ❤Also enjoyed the vlog, as per usual!😃

YAYYYYYYYYY!!! First Sunday of the year off to a fantabulous start 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Thank you! I’m in a different path but I think any tips will be helpful , since you did survive :)

Loved how straightforward you were about the struggles. Super helpful perspective!

Which app are you using with the apple pen?

Thank you for the organization tips!!

BELATED CONGRATULATIONS Nandi!❣❣❣ You're very beautiful. I graduated from Emory University, also -- Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. Thank you very much for your service and for sharing your experience with preparing for and taking the certification exam. How do you like working as a PNP in Primary Care?

I worked (RN) in a medical specialty and I loved it, however, I sometimes didn’t get out of the clinic until 6:30 p.m. and they had nobody to cover me for PTO. 😡 I decided to go back to urgent care. We staff multiple MAs, LPNs and RNs and we can trade shifts and pick up shifts whenever available. 😊

Healthcare is not for the weak! I tell people this all the time, you have to be confrontational! Patients lie to get what they want! In America, patients feel like since they’ve paid a copay/coinsurance, they should get whatever they want! You want to take care of your patients but keep in mind that you can easily harm them also! Patients don’t want to wait their turn and everyone thinks they’re more important! Crazy thing is you don’t ever go into a Retail Store, Club, Theme Park, Restaurant and ask how long the wait is! Lastly, we’re never told what we do right but what we do wrong!

I think ima look into Pharmacy school or something, I’m not feeling nursing anymore .

Chile, i think ima just go for aesthetic NP. Idk if my mental is up to par to deal with whatever type of NP you are.

So basically becoming an Np is not worth it.

Great video! 🩷

What was the process to you becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner. I was wanting to become one. Thank you!

I’m in school for NP, I’ve been a RN for 10 years and I’ve been past my breaking point but I know I really don’t want to be a NP but I realized I need to finish because I want to open an aesthetic clinic . I can say that I definitely suffered from imposter syndrome in clinicals and watching my preceptor have to defend her education and competence .

Great advice''

i'm 20, much needed thank you

Great advice and I hope these save the 20 somethings for all the lessons learned !

SNAPS! SNAPS! AND SNAPS AGAIN! YASSSSS!! Preach sis!! And glowing as always! 🙌🏾💗

Thank you!

Oh please. Inflating your position more than you need to. At this point you are showing off

Your whole video is complete FACTS!! Especially lack of compensation, never off the clock, breaks, lack of training, and balance con. 1 year in as an NP and still working on that balance one! Thank you for your transparency!

This is why I’m doing an NP residency/fellowship in my desired specialty of choice. Very structured.

That Martin clip was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Happy Birthday and congrats on 2000k sub. I just subbed ❤😊

CONGRATS @ 2K+!!! Anddd the earring huggies are so cute! 🎉

Ok bone structure 😭🔥🔥🔥

That hair!!!! 😭😭

Thanks for this video, it pains me that after studding so hard I end up failing 💔😪, I've taken the exams for the 4th time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it.

Within my group of friends who are all nurses, I am the only one who didn’t go for a NP. Now, after 5 years, they want to bail and get out of nursing all together. I left nursing totally, and went back to school for education and spent 15 years teaching. Better hours, lower pay, but I did like having holidays and weekends off.

Omg you all start with a prayer???? I need to find a provider office like that hunny; also my bday is oct 9th!! Happy early bday🥰

The hat is super cute! I might need to adopt the salad jar idea!! 🙌🏾😁

Have you thought abt Urgent Care? Would that be a lighter load than Primary Care? I would assume so

The biggest con for me is the disrespect from physicians that don’t know our scope of practice and think we’re “trying to be doctors” or get up in arms when they learn we can pretty much do what they do. I don’t know if there’s an influx of NPs that didn’t work as an RN very long before getting their NP or what, but doctors act as if we have no experience. Everytime there’s a patient who tells a story of A provider mistake they experienced, they assume an NP did it and when they hear it was a physician all of sudden, they have some crazy rationale as to why or how the mistake is understandable. Let it have actually been an NP, it would be due to us being inadequate providers, lack of Schooling compared to MDs, etc. I was a nurse 15 years before going for my NP so it strikes a nerve when they want to have ego wars over “who’s the expert?” I’m simply tired of hearing these attitudes about NPs. I’ve seen MDs respect their MAs more than NPs. It’s absurd.

So accurate!

Bringing work home I know is very common in family practice/primary care from my understanding. I have worked inpatient endocrinology in which that was not the case at all. I now work outpatient Gynecology/Women's Health and VERY RARELY have to take work home. I think all of these things are dependent on the specialty you work in. I have an amazing situation and manageable patient load. There is so much more out there as a APRN for quality of life.
