- Hey friends!! Come with me to my first day working as a nurse practitioner in urgent care!! EEEKKKK! I can't believe the time has come. Feel free to subscribe and stick around for more vlogs to come as I take on this transition. Thank you for watching!
Hey Lainey, I am a CNA in a hospital on the telemetry/Med Surg floor. I’m also working on my BSN. Then I will work on my MSN/DNP. I plan to be an FNP in urgent care. Most of the urgent care centers I’ve researched, are asking for an MSN with the FNP-BC which I will be. I’m guessing to practice independently, I need a DNP. Either way, my ultimate goal is to have my DNP but for now, I would love to get some experience as a provider before I go independent.
You have no idea how this video saved me from a rut at work today. Thank you ❤
Just discovered your channel and will be binge watching your videos! ❤
I am watching this because I am going through a tough time deciding between going to np or pa school. I am working towards my BSN so it would make sense for me to go to np school. But I also took all of my pa school prerequisites before working towards my BSN. I spoke to my healthcare provider, he is a nurse practitioner, and he advised me to go to np school after getting my BSN (advised me to work at least 3-4 years as an RN before going for my masters) and explained some other reasons that did resonate with me. The biggest green flag I see is that you are able to work as an RN while completing np school. But then people complain about the difference in training and knowledge gained through both graduate programs and I am crying in the inside because I don't know how much of that is actually true or just silly nonsense. I've been binge watching videos of people that are np's and pa's. Sorry for my rant, this felt like a safe space and hopefully someone else also relates to my current situation
I completely understand your concern, and it is a hard decision to make. Of course going down the NP route would make the most sense because you will have the nursing experience before you go back to school. Yes, you do also get to work while in NP school, at least for majority of it, but that changes when you are deep into clinicals. I have fellow PA friends, and I just feel like the PA program gives you so much more exposure to all sorts of specialties. Most PAs start their classes and they are side by side with med students, so their curriculum is pretty similar. You get to do internal med, family med, ER, urgent care, OR, pediatrics, psych, just to name a few. So it really just depends on where you see yourself after graduating that might help with your decision. Hope that helps!
Pa definitely has more thorough training for being a provider. NP training is very rushed which is honestly a disservice to nursing. If np is your goal at least 5 years of experience would benefit you. Imo np is very high liability and low pay initially but of course with experience pay increases…there is also no room for upward mobility but of course you have more autonomy. Np school just like nursing is not very supportive. If this field was male dominated I think it would be different and better.
Great video! I want to work urgent care as well. I’ll keep following you to see how things are going
You doing a great job and love your video total respect what you are doing
I don't know if NP is Worth spending all my life time for because i have tried youtube I associates and some others and still failed 4 attempt. I feel so frustrated don't know what to do anymore don't even have time for my own kids anv more💔💔💔😔😔
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the ANCC test last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard
Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated 🥺
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info
Hey Lainey! I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I love your videos. I’m currently in nursing school, and I also love to read (especially Sarah J. Maas). 😆 I’m excited to watch your journey as an NP! 🫶🏻
Thank you so much! ❤️ have you read throne of glass yet??
@@throughlaineyseyes It’s next on my TBR. I’m currently on the second to last book in the ACOTAR series!
Which board review did you utilize? I'm starting the board review process soon.
Hi, I’m glad I found your channel. Do you think getting a DOT certification is helpful when trying to break into UC? Thanks in advance.
Most urgent cares will hire you before you are DOT certified and then help give you the course to get certified while you’re already working.
If you have ER experience as an RN, why did you go to urgent care versus stay in emergency medicine? I currently work in the ED and want to stay in ED after NP school.
I have noticed that most ERs want to hire either PAs, or emergency nurse practitioners. Not necessarily family nurse practitioners due to our schooling not being geared towards critical care. I have seen some FNP-ENP programs though that take about a year if you’re really wanting to work in the ED.
How did you pass the exam , what exam did you take ?
I took the AANP FNP exam! I mainly used Sarah Michelle and also used questions from Fitzgerald and FNP mastery.
