I’ve been an RN for ~3 years and never got an offer like that! FNP this october

Have you considered active duty Air Force or reserves? They need FNPs. Decent salary, educational benefits to get your DNP, good quality of life. Might be worth considering! I believe reservist NPs also get annual bonuses.

@kdom1234 i applied, but i have 50, their age limit is 46, still unnemployed

You're making great money! You'll definitely take a paycut as a new grad NP and most likely will not get OT pay as an NP. If you're burnt out and not completely sold on being an NP maybe try transfering to a less busy department and see how you like it

Or try management role

It is absolutely not true. You need ICU experience for Nurse Anesthesia school, then there are multiple tracts and programs for NP. If you want to do FNP or Adult Primary Care med surge and clinic experience are fine. If you want to do acute care NP, you can still do med surge but depending on what job you want as an NP, you will want some critical care experience

Hopefully soon!

Yeah, this video was shot during covid. This urgent care saw a decline of patients for a period of time.

No, but they held the certificate until final transcripts were received

Not where I have worked. You give the scheduler days you need off and they fill in the rest

I have to agree. When I was a young nurse you were expected to work 5-6 years before even considering. There's an expectation that you have a base of knowledge when you start NP school

its a different type of stress...but physically less taxing...on the ER unit, in which I was initially working for 7 years....depending on the acuity of the patients....nurses would be pushing stretchers back and forth from CT scan/xrays/OR/ICU...if CNA's weren't around to help...its a busy unit...we would do EKG's, change patients....on top of accessing IV's, drawing blood, giving medications, hanging blood products, titrating high risk medications like vasopressors...and the average ratio was anywhere from 1:5 to 1:15 at times....it was definitely hard on the mind and body and when I came home on some days.... I was out the moment I took off my shoes ...sometimes just sleeping in the dining room while having dinner....as NP's its no longer an easy way out with "MD notified" well it is kind of the same in the sense that you provide education, management plan, and "consulted" or "referred" to appropriate specialty but there are responsibilities in performing appropriate screening with the appropriate diagnoses. you construct differential diagnoses based on presentation, hx...and you prescribe medications...and you need to be sure those medications are also appropriate for the patients...have you done renal work up...electrolytes before initiating thiazides for a newly diagnosed patient with HTN...are thiazides better than ACEI/ARBS...if they are diabetic...would ACEI benefit ...you etc etc...I'd say if you went through nursing school. you have NO PROBLEM GOING THROUGH NP SCHOOL. DO IT!!! I feel more appreciated but most importantly I LOVE THE fact I can make a difference from the education I have gained! I'm a thorough person and I love the fact I can give quality care to my patients...and patients love it when I call them back to follow up, check up on adherence to plan, medication reactions... physically and emotionally, yes...Less stressful...the added responsibility gives you a different type of stress....but that stress will help give your senses keen and motivated...100% recommend going further for mid level practitioner...don't settle as entry level nurse.

@@jinsu0504 thanks for this comment based on real experience. I knew from very early on I wanted to go further in medicine than a staff RN and this comment gave me a nice reminder.
