    Thanks so much for this wonderful video, the NP exam has been so difficult for me… but it seems so easy with your video and explanations.

      The NP Exam is known for its challenging nature, and it can be really tough to deal with failing after putting in so much effort into your studies. It’s completely normal to feel frustrated. But right now I don’t think I only feel frustrated I also feel like giving up which isn’t my thing. 😞😞

      Honestly, some people have a natural talent for test-taking, while others might struggle despite their hard work. I didn’t study extensively but managed to pass, while I know many who dedicated countless hours and didn’t achieve the same outcome. The key is to stay calm and confident during the exam. Creating personal mnemonics and phrases, just like Mr. Tony always advises, can really enhance retention. I developed unique sayings that clicked with me to help remember the material.

    Currently about to apply for nursing school, and my longer term goal is to get my MSN. I had no idea NP Fellowship was a thing, so thank you for mentioning that in the video. I have the means to take that pay cut, and will absolutely be seeking a fellowship after graduation. I know it is still quite a ways out, but after watching several of your videos along with many other youtubers videos, I am even more ready and excited for the journey.

    Thank you for your explanation. I am starting NP program in one month, and it is great to know that there is a fellowship for one year for NP. Because, my friend who is doing medical school is having 2 years of practice, and then 2 years of residency. I was thinking if something like residency exist for NP, and you clear everything. :))

    Degree mills popping up everywhere isn't helping the market too due to oversaturation (supply far outweighs demand). There are some programs that don't even require previous nursing experience. The future for NP career is a bit dim if you ask me.

      @catherinemulawka2669 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I completely agree. Schools are in it for the guaranteed federal loan money that students will be paying back for 10 years. Finding your own preceptors is a load of bull. NO MED STUDENT ever had to find their own clinical practicums unless it was an "away rotation" which is optional, yet the culture is we are both "Providers" and NP's want same privileges pretty much as MD's without even half the education. NP education on a national level is a sad state of affairs, indeed. We are NOT prepared. EVERY preceptor that I have had looks up what to do on the internet after they leave the pt exam room (Family practice, specialty clinic, hospital based program-varying levels of experience, NONE of them was as confident as I thought they should be). It is a puppy-mill environment as far as NP schools go-it waters down our profession and makes NP's not as respected as the title once implied-in my own opinion.

    • @ahmed_np

      Pay is the same. But fellowship gives you better experience and will make you more competitive for ER jobs. Companies usually want ER NP experience and a fellowship will give you that
