I cannot wait to move on from trucking and pursue my first passion of nursing. Though I feel a bit hopeless, and that it’s unattainable for me, I am trying to maintain a positive mindset. Thanks for your videos they are inspiring.
Awe Hi Reg! There is ALWAYS hope!!! Don’t get overwhelmed. Break it down into steps and just get started. We need more nurses and I’m sure you’d be an asset!
Once more, another great interview showing the versatility of the Acute care NP. I appreciated hearing about obtaining an RNFA since I’ve been toying with the idea. Starting clinicals as an AGACNP student in January. Preparing to be on my A-game for it. Your videos are encouraging to me. Thank you.
I just found this channel today and I’m so glad I did!! I’m starting an LPN program in January and hope to get my BSN one day and ultimately an APN. Keep up the great work!!
I think you’ll find many schools will want you to have more time spent in building a foundation of medical care. Surgical services, as you know, is a completely different animal. Also, you’ll find getting through school, boards, and your onboarding will be more challenging. Is it possible, yes. There are plenty of schools who will take anyone and pass you with little care that you understand the concepts. Boards and practice IRL is a different story. As a blanket statement, I wouldn’t recommend it. You’ll add a huge amount of stress into your life and I’ve met some NPs who had such a bad experience they left the field altogether bc of it. Set yourself up for success!
