I absolutely loved this conversation. As a fellow NP who’s recently transitioned to a FT non- clinical role, I struggled with the same internal dialogue regarding “losing skills” and doing what was “expected of me”. Ultimately, I prioritized my mental health and wellbeing and I’m so happy with my decision. Thanks for sharing! 😊
The poor pay with increased responsibilities (toxic work environment) and the feeling of possible over-saturated FNP job market is causing the heart-heaviness (makes one wonder which certificate is more valuable: BSN/RN versus MSN/NP)).
Due to the low pay here in Texas, yes I would like to find a job with good pay & good work life balance. As the pay of $45-55 an hr if that feels like a slap in my face as I’m a mastered degree provider yet the Drs here is paying pebbles and wanting me to work 8-5, 9-5. When am I to go to the dr myself or take care family or have mental health. I believe a mastered degree NP should make $100 an hr minimum. Bc as we see and know I can make more an hour as a staff nurse of 19yrs experience. I did not get into this for money but it should be recognized tha as an NP offering me $45 and I have a $60,000 loan from school 1.5 yr ago. The dr are or can make half a million off my service in the office, why not let me work 4 days a week and make $120,000-150,000 a year
Hi Liz! I'm starting my first NP job next week, and your videos have been very helpful in preparing and calming nerves! I love your optimism about this coming year and the shifts ahead. I also loved the comments about "what is enough" ... Regardless of if I like my job, I don't want to be finishing notes at 6pm. Thanks for your contribution to the NP world!
I don't quite understand the need for a side hustle while working as an NP? Why is there a money desperation? Were these nurses always like this? I'm asking because I truly don't understand, I've always wanted to work as little as possible and make the most money, but that looks different for everyone. Nursing is physically and emotionally demanding, why would you put yourself through all that stress just for money? As a new NP, I'm just struggling to learn my specialty, keep a nice low stress work-life balance, & enjoy my life. I feel as a nurse I did fine financially and I'm doing fine now as an NP, I don't know if that's a reflection on my financial health, or contentment or both.
In my experience the 'why' is individualized. Cost of living, location, family responsibilities. Unfortunately, we some have to work opposite of the 'hustle culture' and seek balance in work-life.
Yes, the Why is different for everyone. I do get concerned about this "hustle" culture, namely that it creates not only burnout, but this lack of commitment to a cause other than money. Longevity in a work place is near non-existent,which creates many problems. I do get that many environments may be toxic which sends people seeking. There is a lot to unpack there. When I passed boards, I created a list of the top 5 things I wanted to experience in my specialty. That included what I wanted to receive, and what I desired to contribute. I got all 5 in my first NP position, I think because I was not willing to settle on those work principles. I tell all of my new NP grad friends to create their non-negotiable list as a starting point. It works if you are committed.
No. The employers are not doing right I’m scratching my head trying to figure out how I made more money as RN, compared to being NP. What is going on????
thank you for this candid interview! been watching your videos since I became an NP. while I do agree that the landscape for NPs is changing and we are voicing more what we will take and what we won't, I think you probably have changed and matured in your career too and your emphasis might not be so much arriving at the right diagnoses or helping us do so, as much as more broader topics now that the new phase is behind you.... just thinking :)
Hi Liz, please any discounted offer for an NP to attend/access your Lab Interpretation course/class? I am currently job searching (the lab interpretation course will immensely improve my knowledge base) and finance is challenging. Thank you.
Thank you so much for reaching out and inquiring! Unfortunately, as a small business we do not offer a discount on our courses but instead try to make our work as accessible as possible while continuing to provide top-tier educational resources.

Unfortunately too many NP's have the same experience. Good for you for choosing YOU!
The poor pay with increased responsibilities (toxic work environment) and the feeling of possible over-saturated FNP job market is causing the heart-heaviness (makes one wonder which certificate is more valuable: BSN/RN versus MSN/NP)).
Transparency is needed so hopefully each RN can make that decision for themselves.

Exactly why this conversation is so important.🤔

Post pandemic I think many nurses are too.

Not going to lie, I really like these casual convo! We need more of these reality check in our careers.
Stay Tuned! More to come 😁

A questions I think we all ponder 🤔
