Life as a Nurse Practitioner - Is it worth it? My review
Thank you for inspiring me pretty lady. I'm in nursing school and will on day become a NP. I will keep this video in my vault for future references. You are amazing !
Thank you! & Good luck in nursing school!
Thank you so much for this video. This is my dream and I am slowly on my way there.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos. I’m a primary/fam medicine NP and this video hits home for me! Thank you or speaking out! You make me want to start a channel. Thank you!
You should! I feel like we don't see many people discussing this topic online. Thank you for your support!
Definitely considering it! Are you on TikTok as well?
@@christinewonsley I want to be, but it’s hard to be consistent! I barely get this TH-cam content up 😩
I love this. I am going back to school to become a nurse and I have also considered what to do within the profession. I decided that I would like to become a FNP!!! ❤ Loved this chat and the comments are awesome. Thank you for what you do
Thanks so much for your support! I’m so glad that you decided on the FNP route! Good luck ❤️
good luck with your gym journey!!!
Can you share your favorite reference books that you use? Starting as an NP in UC soon!
The EMRA antibiotic guide and urgent care guide - I use these every single day at work. I also like the book Minor Emergencies - from splinters to fractures. I also use this book often at work.
I love your hair like that. What would you say is the most challenging thing about being an NP?
Thank you so much! I think the most challenging part for me was self-doubt, imposter-syndrome, and in the first year definitely charting
What is your specialty? Are you an FNP? AGACNP? I’m curious to know what specialty most easily gets you into working urgent care because I’m interested in urgent care. Currently an RN working on my BSN!
I’m a FNP and from what I’ve seen, urgent cares are typically looking for NPs specializing in family and because they can treat patients across the lifespan
I love your videos I was wondering could you show an example of the charting please
@@cdeme001 I sure can!
I’m a CNA in the hospital and working on my BSN, which I have 2 years left of. Immediately after I graduate and I get my RN, I will start the FNP program at the university of my choice. When I get my RN, I’m thinking of working in outpatient to get away from bedside while I’m working on my FNP
Good luck with your schooling! That definitely wouldn't be a bad option, especially since you're pursuing FNP rather than acute care. Plus as a CNA, you're getting plenty of bedside experience now!
Just found your channel and I’m binge watching. Thanks for sharing some of your life! Beautiful also 😍
Thank you so much for the support!
OR nurse here. I experience similar treatment when I show up to get the patient from Pre-Op. Working in an environment where there are only a few Black nurses, and no Black surgeons or anesthesia staff. Like you, I’m like, I’m here to take care of you. Do you want the help or not.
Exactly! I try not to let it frustrate me
I love your channel. My wife will be a NP in June 2025 and I get so excited to see the things she will be able to do in her career. The ER has taught her a ton but she is over it lol. Keep the content going 🙌🏾👏🏾
Congrats to your wife! Wishing her success in her new role. Thanks for your support!
Wheeewwww I’m so nervous being that ill be the only sole provider…but I got this
You've got this! When I tell you, each time I heard a new patient walk through that door, I was breaking a sweat! But eventually, the patients get repetitive and you'll feel more comfortable whether you're the sole provider or not!
I look forward to watching a new video of yours. Thank you for posting! 💛
Thanks for watching!
Serious question about that infusion @1:49. I know you offer this service but what’s the goal with the vitamin C in particular? Is the patient not able to eat normally?
I believe the particular vitamin infusion in the video is advertised by the company as an "immunity boosting" therapy.
Love watching your videos. I’ve been a Hospitalist NP was 9 years and just started in Urgent Care about a month ago. Your videos have been very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching! & That’s awesome! How do you like it?
@@accordingtosara5491 I am enjoying it. Nervous about the procedures but that will get better in time.
I absolutely love this video and I hope you make more. My question is do you get training either in the NP school or after to read X-rays and do the vitamin IV. I’m starting FNP school in January. I feel good about most of my skills (I’ve been an RN for 15yrs) but don’t feel confident in X-rays/IV. I also hope you turn all the way up tonight and get your moneys worth from the babysitting. And yes, you’re right about the shoes lol. Return if possible!
In school, we had a short session on X-ray interpretation, but the bulk of what I learned was self taught! TH-cam has been very valuable for that. As far as the vitamin IV infusion, no this was not taught in NP school. I just tapped into my bedside nursing background for that. I worked in the ICU, so I was always starting IVs and mixing fluids. With 15 years of nursing experience, I guarantee there wouldn’t be much of a learning curve for you! And I ended going for drinks after dinner, so I got my money’s worth 😂 And thanks for your honestly about the shoes 🤣
I wanted to love the shoes too especially after I saw the FIGS collab colors but they suck so bad lol
@@caiitlinhurst omg they're horrible! lol I even tried to make them my exclusive workout shoes and they hurt my feet so bad!
Thank you for these DITL videos! I just left occupational medicine and am starting my new primary care job, but you make me consider trying urgent care in the future. Btw, the goddess braids you had previously were gorgeous, but love your new hairdo too! 😍
Good luck with your new primary care job! Yes the urgent care has been a great experience so far and it definitely took me by surprise. And thanks! I almost didn’t post this video because of my hair, so thanks for saying that ❤️
Love your videos! Confirming Urgent Care is for me
So glad they're helpful! I was so scared of the urgent care, but it's not bad at all! Thanks for watching
Thank you
As a Black NP with a doctorate and a professor it's mind boggling that we have to deal with this in 2024!! Keep pushing sis!
I totally agree! It really took me by surprise
Is FNP even worth it (cost of school is expensive) if you literally have to get a loan? I have used previous undergraduate/grad loans and I cannot find scholarships to fund fnp school. ???? Help
It is. Personally, I make double the amount that I made as a bedside nurse, so for me it's been totally worth the cost.
I love theseee. PLEASE do more
I plan to film a new one this week!
I’m a PA and I agree my life is a lot better. I did vascular US in a hospital prior to this. Work life balance is so much better. I vacation more and have more time with my family.
& that's what matters most! So glad you found a great fit for you!
I had a really hard day at work and this helps me get better and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000a kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
I honestly agree ❤it’s a blessing and a curse but I wish we were paid more. 😅I miss the extra RN cash
@@pripri305 Yes! It was so nice to just pick up shifts and make extra money anytime
I agree with you 100%. NP for 1 year I love it
It’s so much better!
thank you for sharing your experience! starting my first NP job in 2 weeks and excited about the change in pace
Good luck!!
Thank you for this video Sara. Keep them coming ❤
Thanks for watching! I love your channel ❤️
Keep going- it makes me think on the movie 42 when the manager said to Jackie Robinson 'you are medicine.' Was such a powerful mind altering lens. Robinson really was medicine too- he changed a whole landscape. Trust the Lord has you there and will see you through - so you too 'are medicine' with love, from a fellow NP
Wow, I love that analogy! Thank you for your encouragement ❤️
Your videos are spot on! I’m really satisfied with where I am as a nurse practitioner. Having a solid work-life balance makes all the difference. I’m so grateful for choosing this path. Thanks again for all the amazing videos you produce!
Yes, work life balance is so important! Thanks so much for watching!
Great Video! I’ve been a RN for 10 years and became a licensed NP April 2024. I’m currently working a travel contract in Corrections, I’ll be applying this fall and I hope I can find something that gives me that “Soft Nursing life”.
Thank you for watching! And good luck, I hope you find it!
I love your content and you are gorgeous
Thank you so much!
I love 💕 your videos!!
thank you so much!
I remember the dread of being in my RN role, but definitely as a FNP that feeling is gone. The transition has been great! Thank you for another awesome video! 👩🏽⚕️
Yes! So glad the transition has been a good one for you too
Thank you. I love your videos. I’m adjusting to my new role as a Provider.
Thank you for watching! Good luck in your new role
So I’m 2 weeks into my first NP job at a rehab/long term care facility. So FAR, it has been nice having flexibility to come in, and go whenever I want (within reason). I have many potentials and easy opportunities for bonuses, my base pay is double my RN salary, I never have to take weekends, holidays, nights, or call. We’re treated to fancy company dinners all the time. I’m also a big trip girlie, and it’s nice being able to afford trips even more. I love the CME money/CME PTO, because that’s a trip every year right there. Going to San Francisco in December. But I’m obviously more stressed now because I’m new and this is a pretty fragile/complex population, and I’m a new NP. I could see myself occasionally bringing home work being so new, but the seasoned NPs rarely bring work home, and if they do, maybe just 1-3 charts. So I guess we’ll see lol. I’ve been a nervous and stressed wreck.
This sounds amazing. Congrats.
Wow, you make me want to apply! lol It sounds like a great opportunity and an amazing first job. Once the “newness” wears off and you become more accustomed to the patient population and charting, you’ll love it even more! Don’t forget to be patient with yourself.
It gets better and easier each day! But I’ll be nervous probably for at least a year lol
How much PTO do nurse practitioners receive , they don’t mention anything online ?
@@briannab.8127 it varies by job. I get 15 days, or 3 work weeks
Thanks for sharing your experience as an NP. I start FNP school in January. I’m excited about it, but concerned about the transition from bedside nurse to NP. I’m planning to leave the bedside in March after 12 years for all of the reasons that you mentioned. I’m looking forward to more peace and less dreading work. May you continue to be blessed on your NP journey.
I start FNP in January as well after 15 years of being an RN. I’m excited/nervous. Good luck to us both 😊❤
@@reneewendym I know that we will do well in FNP school! I think our years of experience as RNs will be helpful for us. Wishing you the very best on your FNP school journey! 😊❤️
After 12 years, you deserve the peace! And I hope you do find it as a NP like I did. Thank you and God bless you on your journey through NP school.
Hey Sara! I enjoy your videos. I’m a black provider and work with other black woman providers. My experience has been great as a black woman provider, partly because of the patient population we serve, the uninsured and underinsured. My patients appreciate the care I give them and are very happy I’m their provider most of the time! It’s a blessing to be in this space, I love it here!
So glad you're having such a great experience! It's amazing (and rare) to find that job that's the perfect fit. I'm happy for you!
Just be careful and always be vigilant as to protecting yourself I'm proud of you from a blk nurse
Definitely. Thank you so much!
The world we live in… I didn’t know that I was a little black child until I went to school back in 1976 when the white kids in Spanish kids told me I was black 🎉then I found out what this world was about so it’ll be OK
We all eventually get that reality check. Yours just came a bit sooner than mine!
One of my reasons for starting NP school was there needs to be more of US in the field. This is something I’m worried about with starting school. Right now I work a office job as a RN and I’m the only one on my team and it sucks! I’m in a black city and I’m trying to figure out where are all the black NPs! Thank you for making this video!
Yes, I'm wondering the same thing because they're nowhere to be found at any of my jobs! So glad you're in NP school
You're a great resource Sara! Thanks
No problem! I'm glad my videos help!
I love those CVS deals! I check it faithfully!
Same! I just used a 15% off coupon today lol
Love these videos. Keep the coming. Thank you!
I sure will! Thanks so much for watching
hi sara. black whnp here! my first nurse practitioner job in maternal fetal medicine i was the only black nurse practitioner and it was a very toxic workplace (microagressions, favoritism shown towards the white NPs, etc.). i’m glad i left. my patients were great though, i took care of mostly african american patients my second job in obgyn is so much better as I work with 2 other black advanced practice providers and I love my other coworkers too. they restored my faith in this profession . I take care of mostly hispanic patients and I have only had 3 negative patient interactions during the time that I have worked there
I’m so glad you found a job that’s the right fit for you. I’m looking forward to finding that one day. Great coworkers & a calming work environment really can make all the difference!
I start NP school on January. It’s very calming and informative watching your videos. Thanks for creating.
Thank you so much for watching & good luck in your NP program! ❤️
I needed to hear this today. While I’m not a NP or a nurse, I am the only black in my role and it’s exhausting. Not bc people are bluntly rude but bc they are passively aggressive. But like you said- y’all better have my check!
Yes, sometimes the passive aggressiveness can be even more frustrating! Hang in there & just know more of us are definitely going through the same struggle
Hi Sara! Currently a medsurg RN and i've been heavily considering returning back to school to further my career. Torn between CRNA or NP. So grateful for your channel. I think i'm leaning more towards NP!
I love to hear that! 👏🏾 Hopefully medsurg is treating you well. Thanks for watching my videos and good luck!
