Six Jobs That A FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER Can Do | Why FNP Is So Popular

[@anisba12]

Hi Ahmed! I'm a RN in Montreal. Discovered you channel a week ago and I love it! I'm planning to start NP school in 2022. Listening to you is really motivating. Can't wait for more of your videos!

[@ahmed_np]

Hi Anis, that's awesome! Thanks for the love. Good luck on your NP journey!

[@rlouis215]

This is why I decided to do FNP over psych np because of the flexibility of places to be able to work in

[@Jayjay-311]

Pretty stupid comment. Psych is psych. Obviously you can’t work in other specialties. But with psych you can work Inpatient or outpatient which is a plus

I’m entering into my 2nd year of FNP school this fall. This is very helpful. I’m obtaining my FNP and really thinking about post certification as an ENP. I’d like to work in the ER, Urgent care & the clinic. Thanks for the content, new subscriber.

[@ahmed_np]

ENP is a great idea if you're planning to work ER. Good luck!

[@jonathanchung7566]

Thanks for sharing! I am on a similar boat and your comment helped me a lot!

[@amarsingh122]

Hey Ahmed! your videos are awesome! I am a nursing student about to graduate.. I have been considering FNP... anyways your videos are really helpful!

[@ahmed_np]

That's great, congrats on almost graduating! FNP is a great field, get some experience and then look into all APRN fields to see what you like the best,

Wow! This is very helpful. Thank you!!! :) I subscribed

Does it depend on the state if an fnp is allowed to work with a hospitalizar group? I have recently seen new fnp hired by major hospital groups. I think fnp are also allowed to specialize (cardio, Enzo, gi). That way you can do office and hospital rounds. Correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks for video.

[@ahmed_np]

As an FNP you typically don't get any Hospitalist experience. Only Acute Care NPs do. Now some FNPs do work as Hospitalist and that's because the hospital or groups aren't strict about it and there isn't a law against it. It's just an increased liability since you're training does not reflect the work you do as a Hospitalist.

[@gilbertvinzon3017]

Hello, what about working as a hospitalist? I’ve seen FNP work in those field but as well as AGACNP. Which one is more preferred?

[@ahmed_np]

AGACNP or acute care NP is preferred for a Hospitalist. There are some FNPs that do Hospitalist work but that will eventually stop because as an FNP you typically don't get any inpatient training. Hospitals are starting to require acute care certifications.

[@albertsegura6034]

They’ll take FNPs w experience sometimes. ACNP is mainly ICU as that is what your training consists of.

Can you talk about some Jobs for AGACNP

[@aishaahmed4651]

Thanks Ahmed very good info. Do you mind sharing which NP School you went & how was your experience? Thanks!

[@ahmed_np]

Hi Aisha, I went to The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. It was a great experience. Hybrid style, we went to campus to learn skills and practice on standardized patients. I felt like we did very little busy work and focused more on clinical medicine. Tuition was only 20k which is great. I highly recommend it. It does require a lot of self learning since you're not in class everyday. We had Skype lecture for 3 hours every week.

[@onedirection623]

@@ahmed_np I would love to see a separate video on your experience! I am a future NP student in Texas and this is one of the schools I am considering. You’re videos are very helpful. New subscriber!

[@lostmywaffle8471]

I’m Interested in working in the ER but nurse practitioner degrees seem so confusing to me as opposed to a PA degree. If I wanted to work in the ER as a nurse practitioner... do I obtain an FNP degree then go back for post certification as an ENP and that should qualify to work in the ER? Or do you likely still need a RNFA cert? any info helps, thank you for the content!

[@ahmed_np]

Best would be get your FNP then do a 1 yr emergency medicine fellowship

[@emechebenkeiruka7998]

Where can I do the emergency NP fellowship please

[@brandoncobham5506]

I’m trying to decide between PA and NP, do you have any advice?

[@Samyon_1]

Can you double certify in FNP and PSYCH?

[@ahmed_np]

Yes, you can get a post Master certificate in either

[@alexandercrodriguez2335]

Hi Ahmed. Your videos are very helpful. I have a question : Can a FNP work in a dialysis center?

[@gtarules1]

What's a recommended path for someone who wants to earn a DNP? Like from RN to MSN and finally DNP. I'm just not familiar with the specialties that should be chosen as someone who wants to be a CRNA (I know anesthesia school is needed after)

[@ahmed_np]

For anesthesia you have to go to CRNA school after your BSN and ICU experience. They are all DNP. Google CRNA schools in your area and see what their requirements are.

[@ashaib.]

Thanks

[@lindseychoi]

Can anyone give me the answer if I must only go to PNP program to work in pediatrics? How can a FNP work as a PNP after finishing a FNP program? I heard at least 500 working time in pediatrics is required to become a PNP.

[@mariposabonnie7139]

You can go for either PNP or FNP. I'd look at the providers' credentials in the clinics around where I'd like to work. A PNP whom I interviewed said she went to PNP school because she knew she only wanted to work with kids and the school availability. The clinic she works has more FNP than PNP in the pediatric department. She said job training after starting working was more significant than the difference of clinical hours in school clinical time between those two programs.

[@BA-ld9mg]

I can't decide between FNP or ACNP... I want to have my cake and eat it too...

[@ifaashakarchi4972]

You are the best

[@_asapangel]

Hello , can FNPs work in hospitals ?

[@DivaSocialite]

What about fnp doing behavioral health?

[@ahmed_np]

You may be able to get away with it if you're working with a psychiatrist... But it's not recommended

[@madelin1161]

How long do you have to go to school to be an FNP?

[@ahmed_np]

You have to have a BSN which takes 4 years. Then your Master or doctorate that's takes 2.5-4years.

NP is not worth it. It is for the nurses who want to play doctor. It is a lot more studying, stress, and responsibilities for slight increase in pay. You know what I mean if you understand history of NP. They are basically substitute for residents. Also, demands for NP is not high as RN. I know dozens of RN who earned NP license but still working as a RN for not being able to find a job or the work is not what they expected to do.

[@ahmed_np]

People go into it for many different reasons... Money is only one of them. Travel RNs are making great money now

[@tigerkenshi]

@@ahmed_np That is what they say but at the end it is all about the money. I hardly know anyone who likes extra schooling for no increase in income.

[@LifeonGodzTerms]

why did you have to come and poop all over this party now? ): although one thing you said is accurate the pay is less and the stress is unwarranted.

[@wanelly]

​@toliakins, you also pooped on his poop and agreed with their point 😂
