I love being an Np I have my wonderful office. See my patients virtually. No micro managing I mean it’s wonderful!!! I worked ICU, medsurg, LTC and it’s just not worth it for me. I feel much happier, I sleep better and the list goes on

What specialty are you in?

Love this!🎉

A lot of nurses never talk about the military. We need people at the VA and our hospitals I’ve met many that leave the hospital to go to the naval,Airforce or Army hospitals. They make really good money the schedule is very relaxed.

[@queesverdad2826]

I just got licensed as a NP seems like it will be great! Good luck thanks for the post!

[@KcollinsRN]

Once you get the experience in your chosen specialty the flood gates open for job prospects and pay. If you want to travel or do teleheath consider getting multi-state licenses in advance of applying for positions. If you have at least 2-3 prior licenses that will make you more marketable.

thanks for the tips!! can’t wait to get started as a NP

[@JayFriedrichs]

Great video! Ever since I started nursing I’ve been wanting to be an NP but struggling to make the choice -mostly due to fear mongering as to why I shouldn’t. It’s good to hear positive reviews

[@safiyamarz]

thanks! I was in that same boat as well, it took me 5 years to decide to go for it. I just couldn’t imagine working bedside for the rest of my life. good luck with your journey!

[@Joliejenni]

Darn it, TN! Lol. I’m still on the fence because of the disconcerting things other NPs have said, but this was very helpful! Thanks Safi! ❣️

[@lovedoll7884]

omg I remember you from Tumblr! Congratulations on your career! This is awesome!

[@safiyamarz]

awww miss those days 🥹 thank you so much!! 💖

Hi I graduated NP school and passed boards in 2022. I got accepted into a residency I’m excited and nervous . But I’m staying positive about the situation. God has the outcome in his hands.

[@safiyamarz]

how has residency been going??

[@alishahawkins8520]

When I did my clinicals in nursing school I knew then I did t want to work the floor. Luckily I got a job as a new grad in Pre-op in the hospital. I spent six months there and then got a PACU job at an outpatient surgery center. More money cuz I’m doing PRN and really easy work.

[@TimekaS]

Great video! Very informative and to the point!

[@Samson-bf6xi]

was at one point considering np school after graduating nursing school in jan 2020, but I got hired shortly after that in VA. after two promotions and a steps increases, i'm at 104k without taking in the pm and weekend diff and holidays pay. I feel like I wouldn't get much of salary boost to justify the extra responsblity.

[@suziedoll5034]

I feel the same way, I am also in np school right now too.

[@Cleanwithmenow1]

Yes I am done with my masters am waiting to do my boards and I am over bed side

[@mitsy565]

What program would you recommend and how long is it?

[@safiyamarz]

its all dependent on what you're interested in. I'm currently in the family NP program, but you can go into acute care, psychiatric, or adult gero. I'm doing the part time track which is 7 semesters

[@Drip-Drip88]

NP student here, wish me luck 😊

[@safiyamarz]

you got it 😉

[@kristinealexander3491]

Do you need to have med/surg experience to become a family nurse practitioner?

[@safiyamarz]

not necessarily- it's helpful but I've met many NP students/NPs that have worked in different areas of nursing
