In this video, we discuss what NP school is like. I am almost finished with my MSN NP school for a primary care NP (AGPCNP) and I talk about how the program has been so far, and whether or not I recommend it.

I'm currently researching the whole process and working on applying to grad np programs, I've worked with a number of people who've graduated from varioius online and brick and mortar schools. All of whom are working either in hospitals or with practioner groups. Now it's my turn to find out which one will work for me. I'm impressed with the information people are posting regarding their experiences and tips for NP programs. While watching this video, the appearance of dog in the background just made my day!
This man is a very good speaker. I enjoy listening to him. My nursing journey was long and difficult and I just pass my nclex. NP school have been in my mind for several months now. Thanks for the info.
I appreciate it. Trying to get better at speaking
This is the page ive been looking for. THanks for your content. Looking for my own clinicals rn.
Thank you for the information and encouragement!
Congratulations to you👍💙my future plans.
I’m still doing my BSN but I am really thinking about continuing my nursing career later. This video helped! Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Thank you for that inspiring information!
Yeah dancing cause you get no lunch hour .. during the shift
Really awesome video ! I’m actually a prenursing student but have dreams of being an NP. Videos like these keep me motivated for this journey !
Same here! woo hoo! Awesome!
R u a nurse now
This video was very informative
Thank you I’m set to start in August. Thanks again
You’re welcome
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
Congrats bro
I’ve been an RN for 3 years and I’m still deciding what I want to do in the long run as far as NP school or other routes
Great advice
I'm glad I found your channel. I start at Maryville for FNP next month!
It's a good program. Passed AANP boards on the first try by a comfortable margin.
@@Nursejanx Im excited, but nervous. I start tomorrow.
Good luck!
Emilee Kelly how is class so far ?
Thanks for the info, I am applying to Maryville Post MSN AGPCNP cert for this fall!
Awesome!
How long is the certification program and how much is it costing you?
Hello, have you started yet? If yes how's that going because I'm thinking of applying. Thank you in advance.
Can you share how did you find the preceptor? Thank you!
How did you study for advance pharmacology and advance pathophysiology ? Is it like Medsurge in nursing school?
Did any of your fellow NP students have to pay the clinic where they precepted? I've heard some may. Also, I've known others who got their NP education online and had a hell of a time getting approvals for clinic sites. I hope all went well with you ... or anyone else in this boat.
Great video! I was just accepted into an AGPCNP online program. Would love a video of how to find preceptors. Thanks in advance!
Congrats! When it came down to finding preceptors I worked with a lot of NP's and MD'S, so I asked to use them as preceptors! One semester I did have a little trouble finding a preceptor but another RN friend recommended an online Facebook NP group and that is how I found my last preceptor this semester! Will make a video about this soon so keep an eye out!
Here's our video for finding preceptors for NP school: th-cam.com/video/_efCUP7zT4k/w-d-xo.html
What school did you get accepted to?
Sorry to bother anybody here, but I am going to my MSN for EN ( executive nurse ) I know both are totally different but I would like to know how did you prepare for online program. I will be starting this fall and I need some guidance. Nervous at the most because I don’t want to fail
What graduate school are you attending online for MSN for NP?
Thanks for this vid! I just put my application in for NP school, I hope I get in.
Good Luck! How exciting!!
How’s it going did you get in
Teresa Rice I actually decided to go for my BSN first. I’m almost done, two semesters left! And then I’m going to apply to a bridge masters program. I realized it was too difficult to go straight into NP without having my BSN first
Thanks for this video 👍I wanted to ask you is the course work a lot of writing ? I’m not so good at writing but I do great on exams , assessments and clinical skills
In the beginning, it is a lot of writing. Towards the end it is mostly tests and clinical. You will still have discussion board topics throughout the entire program
Thank you!!! I am in school now majoring in Health Science/ Nutrition. However, I've been thinking about Nursing school. Math and Science is not my very best but I manage. I was an EMT-b for about 6 years and need a career change. I am also 40 years old. Any hope for this Youngish-Not - So-youngish guy?? lol
Yeah, man. Go for it!
Accelerated 1 yr RN program and then online NP program if only interested in nursing and patient centered approach!
Patient centered approach is the sociology of why a patient has a disease and thus how to treat the patient. This is different from the medical approach of medicine which MD's and PA's follow, which is the disease/pathology approach that looks at the physiology of the disease and the all encompassing nature of how the disease effects the person's systemic system.
However if you want to receive a detailed medical education that encompasses the disease centered approach that is similar to doctors you should become a PA (Physician Assistant). You currently already have the patient care experience all you need is the prerequisites. The way to become a PA is found below!
Firstly to become a Physician Assistant (PA), you must obtain a bachelors degree from an undergraduate education. This is non-specific but largely people tend to choose degrees in the sciences as the prerequisites for PA school are heavily science based (Bio 1,2 Chem 1, 2 Organic 1, Biochemistry 1, Genetics, Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology 1, 2).
Next all PA schools require direct patient care hours to apply. The AVERAGE ACCEPTED APPLICANT has ~2000 hrs. Examples of obtaining direct patient care hours is through Nursing, Athletic Training, Physical therapy, medical scribe, etc.
Apply through CASPA common application. You will need three letters of recommendation and a personal statement. You will also need to submit all of the official transcripts that you have from University.
Once accepted to PA school there is a requirement of 3 academic years of education. Program length for PA school can be 24 months of graduate education to 36 months (Masters level graduate level education). PA's are taught under the medical model which is the same model of medicine as Physician's. This is different then the nursing model which only nurses follow, such as NP's. The curriculum for PA school is a similar curriculum to accelerate doctors during World War 2. PA's first year is called the didactic phase. This is heavy book learning of medicine. The second year is called the clinical year. This is where PA's get 2,000 hrs in multiple specialties (Primary care, Orthopedics, OB/GYN, General Surgery, etc). To draw a comparison Doctors have two didactic years and 2 clinical years. Follow similar frame work for learning medicine but PA's have a generalist approach and MD's have a more thorough approach. After completing all of the requirements during PA school, PA students must pass the PANCE exam to become certified. The PANCE exam is a nationally certified exam. PA must retake the exam every 10 years to re-certify to practice as a PA.
PA's are required to get 100 hours of CME units, which is similar to physicians.
PA's and NP's have similar lengths in terms of schooling and I can delve more in depth of the differences if you like.
PA school is very competitive so apply broadly but understanding medicine is what matters and is worth the time and the expense! It's all fun and games time you are responsible for the health and well-being for a acute ill patient in the ICU!
Age is NEVER A PROBLEM. Remember that. 😊
Do you know of anyone attending Kentucky Christian FNP program? Thanks great video
Haven’t heard of that. Sorry
Hello! Congrats! Currently a BSN RN if i want to purse into going NP is there a combo MSN NP? Or do i have to take mSN then anothee for NP? How long does the whole program with MSN take if so? Thank you
Not its an NP program with a MSN degree that you want. All in one. They are between 2-3 years usually
Hey, so I really enjoyed this video. Gives me an idea on what to expect in a sense. I am a second degree BSN, RN graduated in Aug 2022, passed my NCLEX in Nov 2022, and started working full time in February 2023. My original plan was always to become a NP. I knew that bedside nursing RN wouldn't be enough for me because I would like autonomy and the opportunity to potentially open up my own telehealth practice etc. I'm hoping to start in Oct, but haven't completed my application yet. In your opinion, do you think it's smart to go right into FNP school? I truly dont see the point in waiting since I know RN is not where I want to stay but I am 25 and feel like I have time as well but what is your take on new grads jumping into an NP program?
I’ve seen people go straight into a program as a new grad RN, I just think it would be easier with a few years of experience first
How much nursing experience would you recommend to have before going to NP school? I started an ADN program right out of high school. So next week I am at one year of nursing experience on a med-surg floor and will graduate with my bachelors in about 6 weeks. Should I wait? I intend on doing my program part time and still working. I just turned 22
2 years of good nursing experience. The more you have the easier it will be to transition
I’m doing my online NP too. My biggest concern is if it’s more difficult for NP new graduates who graduated from an online school to find a job than those those did hybrid or physical school.
I think the biggest factor is your network. Where you do clinicals might lead to job offers since you’ve essentially worked there for a few months and have a head start to how they do things, plus they will know if they like and trust you.
I would love to know which school you're going through! I am struggling to pick where I want to apply to.
Maryville University
Is it recommended to go to FNP school after 6 months of RN experience? By the time I graduate from FNP school, I would have had at least 2 more years of RN experience.
I know that there are programs where you can go into NP school right after finishing your BSN, but I think most people and schools would advise that you get 1-2 years of RN experience prior to entering an NP program. I think you will have a much easier time learning the material having additional clinical experience as an RN.
Thank you for the tips. How often do you have to do projects and papers in the program?
lots of that, especially in the beginning courses
Hello,
I am currently in a BSN program and graduate in June. I was looking to jump straight into a FNP program in July. Do you think this would be a bad idea? I was also wondering which school you thought was more challenging, BSN or NP? This video has provided a lot of insight for me as we have taken similar paths. Best!
Did you have your RN license before your BSN? Or did you get it all together? I thought undergrad nursing was harder than NP.
Hi, great video! I was wondering if I get my masters from any MSN school, does that mean I can work as a NP after I take the certification test or do I have to find a program that has a title of MSN Nurse Practitioner?
There are different types of MSN degrees, but to work as a nurse practitioner you would have to go to a nurse practitioner program that gives you an MSN or a DNP degree.
@@Nursejanx Thank you!
You're welcome
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Hi ! I've been thinking abt maryville!! Online NP ! How short of a time (do you think ) it can be completed?? If you dont walk into the preceptor problem 😣
2.3 years
Why do need the preceptor? Do you have to do that part or no?
It’s just like nursing school. You have to have real time clinical hours for your degree to be valid. Only way to get that is if someone is teaching you at a clinical setting. I think it’s like 600 hours of clinical work is needed for you to obtain your license as a NP
how expensive is the program? and how long?
Maryville is about $45-50k depending on the program. About 3 years long.
How many hours did you work a week while in school?
Great Question
24 hours
Quick question. Did you learn suturing and other clinical skills in your program or is that something you learn in a fellowship?
Thanks
We watched videos but no hands on practice unless you got to do it in clinicals. You can learn in a residency or new job like you mentioned
@@Nursejanx Wow, that's scary. PA programs teach you every hands-on skill prior to entering clinicals. We are taught intubation, lumbar punctures, catheterization, suturing, IVs, FB removal, etc., etc.
Thank you for the great video! Do you mind sharing what your gpa was for your bsn?
GPA for BSN was 3.25. GPA for MSN is 3.95
@@Nursejanx for BSN gpa do jobs ask about that as a new grad nurse? I am in a 12 month accelerated program so my GPA isnt super high its a 3.05 rn I have 1.5 semesters left
@@notme3240 No. The only people who would care about GPA are schools in case you are considering going back for a higher degree
I plan on applying Walden university FNP program
Me, too! I hope to start this coming August :)
R Imee oh goody!!! I pray your journey goes great. I’m still working on my ADN RN. O graduate in December. Walden told me they have an expedited program called the AIMS program for ADN RNs and they told me that is actually cheaper than already having my bachelors and going. They said I would get my bachelors on the way and after that since I got my bachelors through them I would be considered an alumni and I would get a discount on my masters program
Laci Davis yes, finish you ADN and get at least 2 years into working and then apply for the RN-MSN program at Walden. But whatever path you choose I am rooting for you!
R Imee thank you hey if you have Instagram add me at nurse_laci_1991 I like to watch people’s journey in nursing and I would love to watch yours and possibly have a mentor. Also I want to know how you go about getting preceptors because I heard that’s the hardest part
Laci Davis I do have Instagram but I’m taking a break from it right now. I’ll make sure to add you if/once I go back on. I’m currently working so I hope finding a preceptor wouldn’t be too difficult since I am surrounded by NPs but they do need to be working in a different unit. I just have to muster enough courage to ask. The admission counselor mentioned that they will assist if needed, hopefully they do. Try to get to know NPs in your area cause most likely they will have a NP friend that may be willing to be a preceptor.
May I ask what your background is as an RN? Thanks! Your story is so inspiring!!!
RN since 2013, worked psych, med surg, tele, stepdown, infusion. NP since early this year 🙂
Congrats!!! Keep us posted on youtube!!! One more question since I think you are exceptional!! While you were in NP school did you just study or did you study and work? Congrats and thank you so much for sharing your story!!! :)
@@sh-vv4cx I did school and work together. At the beginning, it was all classwork and it was easier to juggle both. At the end, I had to cut down to part-time or PRN because of clinicals requiring so much time.
@@Nursejanx Sound awesome!!! Thank you for he great tips as well!!! I am hoping your journey as am NP is going well!!! I really appreciate your tips!!! God bless!!!
@@sh-vv4cx Thank you, I'm always happy to answer questions.
How Np students find preceptors?
Network and do it early
Do you have to write care plans?
We write soap notes
Nursejanx what’s a soap note
@@LovelyyAubrey Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan
What school did you go to and do you recommend it
Maryville university. Yes I recommend it
Also he doesn’t blink often...
Lol maybe they got edited out
Please which NP program did you attend?
Maryville university AGPCNP
Hi! Do you think it’s possible to go into a MSN program straight out of BSN if you have working experience while you were getting your BSN?
Possible yes, I just think the more experience you have the better. Some schools will require RN experience though
I’m a new grad with my BSN and I don’t know if I should pursue DNP or MSN
You can do MSN first and then to dnp later if you really want to
What’s school did you go to?
Maryville university
What University did you go to??

What school did you go to?
Maryville University for my MSN
Hey! Do you believe a NP is better than an MD?
Hi :) Could you please answer my questions? I want to enter the NP program with a non Nursing B.S.
1) What Pre Req classes should I take before entering the NP program?
2)Does it matter what my BS is in before applying for the NP program?
Thank you.
Do you have your RN already?
@@Nursejanx no I do not
@@cheyennecharlottezoelle You'll have to get your RN license and go to nursing school before you can enter NP school. There might be a few programs that will give you a combo with an RN and the NP in one huge program. You might want to consider PA school if you don't already have an RN, because it is comparable to an NP, and you will probably get there faster.
@@Nursejanx thank you!
It depends on the University. There are a few schools that I know of in my state that don't require you have your bachelor's in Nursing. For example, I will be going into the NP program, but my BA will be in Social Work.
This affirms why I would never use a np. Just imagine if your doctor got their degree online to save your life 🤦🏾♀️
For a didactic course, what difference does it make whether you learned sitting in your office vs. a classroom. If the information is the same, the setting is irrelevant. The clinical and skills portion is all in person even with an online program.
Sitting in a classroom and listening to professors read power point presentation (word for word) doesn’t teach me anything. It was actually worse than me reading and gaining my own understanding of the content. And for MDs,PAs,NPs getting the most out of clinical hours is what matters
@@slynn7816 with the volume of students online. There is no way to ensure that students are adequately trained. These place are diploma mills for a reason. Everyone graduate and get A’s. Yes some people do well online but there is no way all these people doing online are just passing with flying colors
That makes no sense. Our clinical hours are all the same and are determined by education standards that apply to all schools. Additionally, we all have to sit for the same boards in order to get a license.
@@Nursejanx I’ve met people who graduate with a master degree and don’t know the difference between to and too. With study guides and test prep program me that teach to the test it is very so possible for unprepared people to marginally pass. As an educator I’ve seen it happen. So many people pass test to go into the field and not be competent.
