Interview with an Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner

[@middlesys9180]

Such an encouraging interview. I'm not sure where she lives, but a lot of the Ortho jobs go to PAs. Did a lot of ortho in the ED as a tech and RN and have always loved it.

[@RealWorldNP]

I'm glad you enjoyed this interview! Thanks for watching.

Liz & Yessica, this was so, so helpful!! I'm weirdly excited to order the appropriate plain films now for a patient with knee pain 😂

[@RealWorldNP]

Wonderful!!

[@savannahanderson1136]

Thank you for this video Liz! I learned so much from Yessica-most importantly applying for jobs that state that they want experience but to still apply anyways!

[@RealWorldNP]

Glad it was helpful!

Can you do an interview with a Derm NP? Would love to hear it.

[@RealWorldNP]

I will add it to the list - thank you!

I work in a network that very heavily uses PAs, especially for ortho, ED, and surgery. Do you think there is hope that NP school will start to be structured more like PA school, so we don't miss out on all of the musculoskeletal, short-procedure and even surgery stuff?

[@RealWorldNP]

That's a great question, I don't know if there will be massive reform in the NP curriculum standards anytime soon, but I definitely know of lots of NPs who have done certifications or trainings like Yessica mentioned to do things like first assist in surgery.

What do you do when you apply for these jobs that request experience but you have none and their application system automatically rejects your application?

[@RealWorldNP]

Great question! I recommend checking out The Résumé RX for job help and encouragement. Here are some blog posts you may find useful: www.theresumerx.com/063/ and www.theresumerx.com/112/. Good luck with your job search!

Best book to get for ortho in family practice

[@RealWorldNP]

I am not aware of one book for orthopedic topic but I would recommend use of your preferred clinical resource for management recommendation. 5 minute clinic consult, UpToDate, or Medscape.

[@SF19925]

Your voice is so soothing 😊.

[@RealWorldNP]

Oh thank you!

How do I write a note i am sorry i am graduating in may going to be new np

[@RealWorldNP]

This is specific to the clinic you will work in. Each electronic medical record is different but the components (HPI, past medical history, assessment, and treatment plan) remain the same. They can look different depending on the practice.
