Thank YOU for sharing what the whole school process is. One year down!!! You are doing so great!

[@DrAdnan]

The outpatient office looks much more peaceful than inpatient medicine. Something for me to look forward to :)

[@NurseLiz]

It’s definitely a totally different world!

[@cbl6520]

May be calm, but in most instances, you’re scrambling to keep up with everything that’s going on. Family medicine is less stressful from a pt acuity standpoint, but more stressful from a time management standpoint, given the higher case load of pts and limited interaction time.

I loved this video! You explained everything so well and I learned a lot about what your days are like. Insurance companies 😖 it's amazing that non-medical people are able to make those decisions.

[@NurseLiz]

Probably seems so dull compared to your days! and seriously. Ugh insurance companies. I don't know why we did all this school when we could have just worked for insurance companies and made all these decisions without any education to back it up. haha

I’m excited as I start my physical assessment for my FNP program. I to chose the MSN track r/t no interest in the extra research. As I binge on your videos I’m excited to learn, but so overwhelmed by the learning still to come! I’ve been at this FNP gig for 1.5 years and now for my clinicals to start after this class. At this point I don’t feel like I’m ready for clinicals and I’m terrified. I too am excited for the future but sad to leave my friends and the job that I’ve loved/hated for the past 13 years. Thank you for the relatable videos!

Would you say becoming a brand new NP is just as overwhelming as becoming a new RN in a hospital setting? I remember how I felt as a new nurse working in a hospital and I was always overwhelmed. Just curious if there’s any similar feelings?

[@NurseLiz]

I was honestly more overwhelmed as a new NP just because of the increased responsibility. The first 6 months were really hard in terms of anxiety and feeling new. A lot like when I was a new nurse. But you get through it!

[@emma3647]

Would you be able to add a well visit template to our NP binder for adults/pediatrics like what to look for and ask when it isn’t a sick visit? In clinicals so far I am so afraid I’m going to miss something important in guidance or assessment.

[@Vanessa-gn8je]

Hi Liz, really enjoyed this. I’m in my second semester of my FNP program and this helped me understand more about what my day to day will look like. I was happy to see that you do part-time work. I’d be super curious about what negotiating looks like in general for an NP position, but also including what it would look like if you pursue part-time work. Like do you get any vacation? Health care? Or should I not expect there to be any “perks” because it is part-time. Maybe you could even do a video about this if you haven’t already?! Thanks again for all you do.

[@NurseLiz]

Hey! I'm so glad it was helpful! I plan on doing a video on negotiating NP contracts at some point soon! I actually just finished grilling a ton of my friends about their experiences so I have a bit more information than just my experience. IN terms of part time jobs, I work SO part time that I have absolutely no benefits. Usually jobs I saw posted for 24 hours had some benefits though ( I only work 14 hrs/week). Good idea about the video idea! HOpe the end of your semester goes well!

[@argeliaarchuletta712]

Thank you that was an awesome video!! You gave me so much more motivation. Can you make a video on SOAP notes? Love your videos!

[@soleilangel8236]

This was so so cool!! I am graduating in December pre-med, but am looking into Direct Entry MSN bridge programs! Ha ha ha nervous laughter as I desperately try to figure out my life. I was interested in hearing your opinion of how easily nurse practitioners get jobs with an Rn rather than BSN (i won't be having one of those). Is it still possible for me to do what you do if I have only the RN, MSN? BTW, you are goals!!!

[@NurseLiz]

In terms of getting a job as a nurse practitioner, whether you have your MSN or your BSN for your RN degree won't matter at all. My employer just asked about my experience working as a nurse.

Is this true for a lot of full-time FNP jobs? Do you have any inside info from full-time FNPs you may know. Like are they really working 8-5 M-F, or working weekends, on-call?

[@eking1125]

@@destiny4911 Hi. I'm an adult and womens health NP, almost at 3.5 yr mark. I practice in primary care full time and can say yes there can be a large amount of time beyond your direct patient care/ clinic time. Depends on your facility as well as if you have remote access. My particular setting is based on 35 hours of work time, so 9-5, but 1 hr lunch unpaid

[@eking1125]

I average about 1 hr early prior to start time then 30 min after done in the evening. With only light browsing remotely, otherwise I have colleagues who dont do any extra time at clinic but do work from home to catch up

[@whoisaydenthe8939]

I am a nurse practitioner as well. I have been working in a pediatric office for 4 years. Your office looks like mine. I see anywhere from 20-30 patients per day. Does charting on the computer appear easier than on appear? We still do paper charting?

[@NurseLiz]

I've never done paper charting as an NP, only as a nurse so I dont have a ton to compare to. I can type faster than I can write, so that may be quicker, but with the EMR there are SO MANY required fields that may end up taking longer. I'm sure it's all what you are used to.

I was wondering the same thing, or should I just jump right into getting my ADN #Help

[@BroadwayDuchess13]

@@daishanewsomednp6956 I was a CMA for 8 years prior and it doesn't really give any head start on the process. In fact, before nursing school I was required to get CNA certification, because it wasn't part of my MA training. MAs and RNs can have similar-looking tasks, especially in an outpatient environment, but the training is completely different. MA is very task-based -- you learn the HOW, you don't really delve that deeply into the WHY. In nursing school, learning the WHY really hones your clinical thinking and approach. I was fortunate to work in a teaching environment when I was a MA, so I learned how to do a lot of procedures and got to ask a lot of questions, but I think that's not really that common. Most of my MA cohort didn't do half of what I got to do in terms of hands-on experience. Sorry this is so long, but I think in hindsight, if I'd been sure of nursing from the beginning, I would've skipped the MA certification and gone straight to the BSN (my hospital system is all about that magnet status). I wasn't certain, though, and I wasn't ready to commit to inpatient work schedules, so I took a roundabout way. Hope that gives you a bit of a perspective from both sides!

Aspiring FNP here. Do you still recommend getting into NP school and having school debt? Knowing how expensive going back to school gives me anxiety

[@anaadventures7669]

I'm in NP school and have undergrad debt. I'm paying out of pocket per class at a slower pace instead of accruing more debt bc omg it's never ending. I say if you can pay out of pocket do it.

[@NurseLiz]

Hey! So I agree with what Ana said. I went into NP school with 50k debt from my undergrad. But I paid for np school out of pocket since my loans went into deferment when grad school started. And np school tuition was actually less than my monthly payments for my loans haha. But that’s what I would recommend if you can swing it!

[@valentinacanchanya8205]

Loved this video! I'm considering going back to school to become an FNP!! Did you do an online program or an in-person program?? If you did an online program, how was your experience looking for clinical sites? Thats the biggest factor right now in my decision to do online vs in person.

I am doing an online program..now and I chose online because I learn better that way....my advice would be to reach out to the NP's you already know...I am using the NP's I work with and they also know other NP's.....I need to feel comfortable in clinical and I find it easier if you already have a relationship with the preceptor..hope that helps

Is it worth it to became a NP?

[@NurseLiz]

That is such an individual thing! For me, yes. But it totally depends on what you are doing it for and looking for in a career

[@thesarasiablack]

I’m sorry to ask but have you ever heard nasty patient parent? Just asking

[@NurseLiz]

There will always be nasty people. It doesn’t get to me too much anymore. Clearly they have some issues, and I’m glad I don’t live my life that negatively. At least that’s how I cope with it haha
