It’s so encouraging to see you speak about your faith and how it relates to your career. I’m a FNP student, it’s not easy but God gives us strength and guidance! Thank you for sharing.

[@ashley_audacious]

thank you 🤍

[@richietequilatr]

Thank you so so much for this video. God is amazing! Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I am currently a BSN nurse of 23 years and just started the DNP program in adult gerontology . Im not sure on which direction to go when I complete the program but I definitely will follow Gods provision for me (most of my career I’ve worked in long term care and med surg). I want to thank you for 1st your representation of black women and more importantly your anointing. God will do amazing things in your life.

[@ashley_audacious]

thank you & congratulations on starting your DNP program.

[@bericarlafortune3528]

Thank you for displaying your faith in your nursing career. This was so inspiring because I’m being told to go to CRNA school since it’s less saturated and they make good money but deep down I want to be an NP lol. The Bible verses, the fasting and your diligent faith was exactly what I needed to see. ❤God bless you

[@NurseAggz]

what she said! i highly encourage people to pursue careers/ specialties they are passionate about. what is for you, is for you. i think i'll do a video on this topic as well im inspired

[@itssleahaa]

I love this so much. I am currently an undergraduate student, switching my major from pre-med to pre-nursing. I definitely love this.

[@SuperBlargle]

Absolutely love this video. I have been an ASN nurse for 10 years and am finally almost done with my BSN. I am trying to decide if I want to go on to become a nurse practitioner. This video was very helpful ❤

I am not a nurse practitioner neither do I have a desire to be. I am trying to get out of nursing

[@madamdomonique271]

I’m currently an RN for 4 years now and ready to go back to school. I’d like to go back to my school Chamberlain to get my psych NP but I’m afraid this school will be considered a diploma mill school and I’ll have a hard to time getting a job.

[@ashley_audacious]

i’m unsure of chamberlain. I would recommend reaching out to some psych NPs on social media and see what they say. with going to diploma mills, it also can be hard finding preceptors

[@madamdomonique271]

@@ashley_audacious thank you ❤️

[@lex9728]

Please avoid the “diploma mill” schools if you can and choose a brick & mortar institution. Ultimately, your education will be more affordable if you go that route, and yes, the reputation of the diploma mill schools is becoming an issue. I’ve literally been in spaces where I’ve heard NPs and physicians discussing a prospective new hire NP who went to a school like Walden and were questioning the validity of their education and experience.

[@khailiagriffin6419]

I just started my women’s health nurse practitioner program and I am transferring due to personal reason . I have been looking at and praying what would be my next step as far as what school to transfer too . I notice you said some people will not accept you depending on what school you go to . I’m between Kent state and Florida A&M . Have you heard anything about these programs? Also my number one pick was TWU In dallas, Texas because I live in Texas but their WHNP is not accepting applicants the earliest is summer 2024 due to trying to graduate current students and go to online programs. Just wanted some advice on what which way I should go

[@ashley_audacious]

hi, the schools I was referring to in that portion of the video are the online private for-profit programs

[@LashonDCampbell]

Hello and good morning to you I really have enjoyed your video today Thank you for sharing and you are amazing You have a beautiful channel here

[@samiatolayiwola8362]

8:34, I would like you to shed more light regarding this I heard that while working at a facility with your BSN-RN, then you decide to go for your NP school, the facility could pay for your NP school as long as you sign a contract with them. How true is that?

[@ashley_audacious]

depends on the facility. you would have to check with HR. some facilities do & some facilities don’t

[@horlinlacombe9658]

Kudos to God and you being His vessel sweetie.

[@sahar1usa]

Thank you, It would be helpful if you enclose what should be negotiated and how

[@lovenbball22]

So if you’re a FNP, you can work in all of the specialties that you named? Or if you get a specific specialty, you can only get jobs in that specialty?

[@ashley_audacious]

I do believe that FNPs have limitations. to my knowledge FNPs who want to work in the ICU , should be adult gero acute care nurse practitioners. FNPs can’t be neonatal nurse practitioners even though they can care for patients across the lifespan. so if you know that you want to work with a specific population for the rest of your life, I would recommend that you become a nurse practitioner within that specialty. FNPs can switch between different outpatient specialties. I don’t think FNPs can get jobs in psych if you become a nurse practitioner in a specific specialty, then yes you are limited to that specialty . For example, women’s health nurse practitioners can not work in a setting that provides care to newborns

[@Trista1983]

Hey Ashley! Where do you get your scrubs from? I love this style. Can you please share the name of the designer.

[@kaylahood1000]

I’m thinking about not being a health science major anymore anatomy and physiology isn’t for me. I am struggling with passing this class. What are some other health care careers that I can go into without having to take so many science classes? Science isn’t a strong subject for me.

[@WGAGENCY]

Before you throw in the towel, did you get as much help from your professors as possible? Did you try to correct your study strategies? You could be trying to learn things in the wrong way or you are not doing enough practice questions before the exam. Alot of people struggle with anatomy.

[@xi_empress..evolved_xi2399]

Can Nurse Practitioners go to medical school and become a physician??

yes

[@Hisheartlongsforyou]

Hey Love you look really beautiful today! 💕 I was wondering what made choice being NP over MD or PA provider ? And do you enjoy your practice? Thank you love🤍

[@ashley_audacious]

thank you. I never had interest in becoming a MD because of all the years of schooling + residency. I never really explored the PA model either. I can only speak for what I have seen, but I have seen more NPs employed than PAs in the settings that I have worked in.

[@kqlanders]

She forgot Certified Nurse Midwife. They can do what WHNP does plus actually deliver babies. WHNP’s cannot deliver, but they can provide care before, during, and after pregnancy just not labor and delivering.

[@ashley_audacious]

my video was specifically about nurse practitioners. certified nurse midwives are separate from nurse practitioners. they are considered advanced practice registered nurses as well. if I wanted to do a video about all of the different type of advanced practice registered nurses, I would have included nurse midwives and nurse anesthetist as well but I did not because the focus of this video is nurse practitioners. thanks

[@kqlanders]

Not you being mad because you can’t deliver babies as a WHNP 😂😂 sheesh! Thought I was being helpful 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️. You’re welcome, love

[@ashley_audacious]

I have never wanted to deliver babies a day in my life . which is why I am a whnp and not a midwife. and also it’s why I was a postpartum/mother-baby nurse and not a labor and delivery nurse. you made an assumption that I forgot about midwives and I informed you that I did not and gave you my reason why

[@Katsuki1920]

[@nicolaypastore]

This video is sexist. Not everyone is a woman that wants to be come a psych NP or just a NP in general.

[@ashley_audacious]

obviously you did not watch the video & now you sound crazy . you can build a bridge and get over it.

[@eib275]

Anything less than medical school is unsafe for patients. NPs have less than 10% of the training of a medical doctor (DO/MD). Your health matters. Trust an expert.

[@ashley_audacious]

you don’t sound too smart. if NPs were not safe for patients, then there would not be any NPs. nurse practitioners increase access to care and provide high quality care.

[@eib275]

That's simply not supported by the data. There are zero studies showing that NPs are capable of making diagnoses as well as doctors. And there are many studies showing they do NOT increase access to care and end up costing patients more individually. Corporations want you to see NPs because they can pay them less than doctors. Studies show they order more unnecessary drugs, unnecessary tests and referrals to specialists. @@ashley_audacious

[@eib275]

If you think the government wants to keep you safe, I have a bridge to sell you. The government is captured by big nursing, the largest lobbyist body in the country. They're all paid off to support NP practice. It's not about patient safety at all.

[@ashley_audacious]
