HOW TO BECOME A NURSE PRACTITIONER FAST ! | DNP | WAS IT WORTH IT ? 

Thank you !! I’m so happy to hear your journey very similar to mine, keep up the great work !! You are almost to the finish line 👏🏽

needed this. ❤ Current PN student. Want to go all the way up to MHNP possibly DNP but i know MHNP… ❤

yay! you're doing great!

What’s the benefit of going BSN-MSN-DNP vs BSN-DNP?

How do you do you do it with a baby? I am considering pursuing nursing as a career, but i have a baby and don't know if doing both is possible.

Thank you ! Absolutely!

Yah I'm going to be out of that kind of money getting my bsn. I'm just going to do it

Thank you for watching 🫶🏽congratulations on the marking it this far 👏🏽 although it’s costing a buck, it will be well worth it !!

Thank you so much 🙏🏽 this is the reason I started this channel to encourage and motivate. I thank you for your support 🫶🏽 I have no doubt you will accomplish your goals

You’ve got this! ❤️ Im a single mom of 4, and have had children through my journey. I went from CNA, LPN, RN, about to graduate my RN-BSN program. Then onto BSN-DNP. It’s taken me years longer than others and I’ve had to stop for a year or so in between to work and make money to take care of my kiddos. You can do this! Even if it’s baby steps at a time. 🎉 Wish you the best!

Thank you!!

Thank you for your support 🫶🏽

Thank u !

Thank u ! Absolutely ❤️

Hey ! Thank you for the support 🫶🏽 all the classes I took where in a “program” so they where already scheduled. The best this is to reach to an advisor

Thank youu !! 🫶🏽

Hey ! I will make a video ! You can also email me, in the bio

@@sidneymonica thank you so much 🥰

Hi there, Want to complete entire program in 12 weeks?

You got this!❤

Thank you for watching 🫶🏽! If you do pursue your DNP , I encourage it and best of luck !

Thank you 🫶🏽

Thank you 🫶🏽 !! For me, not that I have a desire to be in a leadership position or run a facility at this time, but with the DNP that is possible. I pursued the DNP of course to challenge myself and it made sense to do a 3 year bridge vs 4years if I where to do it separately

Thanks so much!

Thank you, nursing is a wonderful career and people should be honest about the profession

Thank you !!! I appreciate the support. Sounds like you have a ton of experience and ready for a change. I think NP/ DNP is a great route to advance and nit feel so burnt out. Yes the program is general, of course if you’re considering women’s health, FNP is the best option.

Glad it was helpful!

BSN at FIU NP/DNP at FAU

Thank youuu 🫶🏽

Thank you !

Thank you !

Absolutely! There is many accelerated programs out there for people with degrees In a different field that wants to transition into nursing. However, there is certain requirements I’d would look into.

Absolutely! I’m glad it was informative, thank you !!

Thank you 🫶🏽

Agreed!

Yesss !!! Welcome to the 1% of AGNP, the best of luck on your exam. You got this !!

Thank you ! I’m glad you found it helpful

Dissertation required a whole semester ( 4 months) to complete. I would say they are both challenging. A lot of writing and research for Both. In addition to clincals and didactic courses. Trust me school is only the foundation once you are working that’s where the real knowledge and experience comes in. I felt the same way, now I am a skilled and confident provider. You got this, keep going !!

Glad it was helpful!❤

Thank you !

Thank you! Glad you found it informative

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. You can do it !! I personally found undergraduate more challenging. I feel with the background knowledge it was manageable

How were you able to manage your time with clinicals, studying work and family. How were you able to balance it. What’s your strategies

🫶🏽 best of luck on your journey!!

Try working as a float nurse, you get an idea of what it’s like working in different floors

Thank you !

Great question! There are tons of scholarships and grants available online, through the school and at some work places. It will definitely take some work to find them and applying of course but it can be worth your while to help you purse that advance degrees

Absolutely! Currently in completing post certification online

What school did you attend? I’m struggling finding a school

Good luck on your journey!

FAU for my BSN- DNP bridge , FIU for BSN 🫶🏽

FAU , great school !

@@sidneymonica thank you for your swift response,do you think someone living in Texas can go for this school or would there be any time one would need to come in for anything at all?

Hello ! Thank you for your support, I am not to familiar with the Untied kingdom programs. However I will definitely do research to educated myself on it. If that’s is your ultimate goal I think it’s a great option

The demand for NP is growing fast ! It could be longer until they REQUIRE a DNP. I say it’s being one step ahead of you already do

Hey ! I did travel nursing 4-12 week contracts and break in between

Hi ! Every program is different as well as the school when it comes to requirements. The 1st step is to know the school, then the exact concentration NP (FNP/ PMHNP/AGNP), then connect with advisors that can guide you on the different options. Hope this was helpful 🫶🏽

By background as an LPN and RN consisted of working with the geriatric population, I just continue in the path

I’m happy to Hear that ! Thank you for the support

It’s a bridge program. Within 2 1/2 years in the DNP program. One would earn enough credits to graduate the “masters” but must continue earn the DNP degree.

FAU I did the bridge program RN-DNP

FAU !! Go OWLS🦉 🤟🏾

Hi ! FIU for BSN FAU for BSN-DNP bridge

If you’re well prepared it is not bad.

As an economist, I understand that statistics can be presented in various ways to support different arguments and obviously that’s what’s being done here to claim that DNP nurse practitioners have 6% of the education and training of an MD. From my understanding, MDs do not study anything directly medical in their undergraduate degrees and only take the same prerequisite courses that are generally also required for a bachelors of nursing. So that certainly shouldn’t be counted towards “training“ of a physician. My understanding is that medical students then spend a total of two years in classes after their bachelors degree, which they often do not attend and are not required to attend at top medical schools and are also pass/fail more and more because medical students at that stage are instead mainly spending most of their time studying for a set of standardized tests. Hence, these 2 years provide background, but are not necessarily direct medical training. There are then two years of direct training in rotations, followed by residencies which for a family physician is only three years. So basically they spend five years in direct medical training +2 years of indirect sort of classroom experiences. Considering the number of years of direct classroom work, which, for nurses and nurse, practitioners is more focused directly on their field of practice and their additional multiple preceptorships, and the practical hands-on nursing that is also required just to get into some of these programs, and that they typically engage in while also studying such as the woman in this video, the statement that DNP nurse practitioners have, 6% of the training of medical doctors, seems to be a huge exaggeration at best, and likely mostly very dishonest. Importantly, DNPs then practice in areas that are set out specifically for their professions. They are not pretending to be MDs. They practice within roles that the medical and nursing boards have determined are appropriate for their certifications and training. No one is being hoodwinked by a DNP practicing within the DNP field as your statement suggests. In addition, some savvy consumers prefer a nurse practitioner over an MD, especially for specific areas of practice, such as OB/GYN and PMHNP because they report receiving better care. This indicates that while DNP training is different than MD training, DNP training can result in better care for certain patients or for many patients in certain areas of practice (in addition to certainly being generally competent across the board).

@@eshapiro9585 You are severely misguided. I’ll dissect point by point. Having a bachelors in the science of nursing and as a medical student, I can speak from direct experience on these topics. 1) nurses and doctors do NOT take the same prerequisites. They take *some* of the same classes. Most nursing programs do not require biochemistry, organic chemistry, physics or any upper level biology or chemistry. Many colleges have “non major” or “nursing” chemistry or biology to satisfy these requirements, and they are MUCH less difficult. 2) You assume that the “preclinical”years have nothing to do with medicine and that is completely untrue. The foundations in the hard sciences are what make you an expert clinician. They are the core and necessary foundations to medicine that nurses don’t require. 3) Saying that the first 2 (preclinical) years of medical school aren’t relevant to medical training is completely nuts. When do you think doctors learn to diagnose and treat patients? And it’s not just thing for some board exams. I take courses where in tested practically weekly on very difficult topics. I also take courses on patient interaction, advanced assessment, cadaveric dissection. Your assumption that these aren’t considered medical training is wildly inaccurate. 4) Saying NPs work within their scope of practice assumes they have one. Acute care NPs (ANP) and family nurse practitioners (FNP) are generalists who can work in a variety of roles… PCP, hospitalist, pediatrics, you name it. These are not specialized whatsoever. NPs can specialty jump.. a year as cardiology np… a year as a general surgery NP. With zero actual formal standardized training. 5. The average NP school has 500 clinical hours required. The average MD/DO primary care doctor has 15,000 clinical hours once graduating residency. You so the math. 6. As someone who saw patients full then for 4 years. I can say many are “hoodwinked” by a “doctor” walking into their hospital room with a white coat and saying “my name is doctor..” Especially our most vulnerable patients without an education. The underserved and underprivileged will be hurt most by this project of “big medicine” and corporate greed. 7. “Patients report receiving better care” certainly as a statistician you must be aware of all the data supporting that patients cannot accurately judge what quality of care they are getting. Also, there definitely is data that they produce worse outcomes for patients when not being co-managed by a doctor. This has been shown in many areas. Most of all of the data supporting nurse independent practice was done under supervision and does NOT demonstrate ability to diagnose and treat independently. Although many states are making this the case.

Really!? I would love to here your thoughts

@@sidneymonica dnp NOT Worth it... because they don't really consider you as a "doctor"... You go through regorous DNP program, at the end you still not consider a doctor. Our DNP is gear towards research, not really clinical based, DNP is more academic. So through it, I got sick lost weight, then at the end you are NOT consider a doctor...but a chiropractor (who is NOT really a doctor can be considered a doctor)...do NOT be under chiropractor as your collaboration doctor (only with an MD that you are collaboration with) ( not sure what state you live in?..but where I live I'm not an assistant of anyone but collaboration with MD yes, but NOT Assistant (as Physician assistant).. chiropractor did not go to med school they only have Bachelor degree or an AA degree. Chiropractor will hired NP because NP can Prescribe medicine, Chiropractor cannot Prescribe medication.. You as an NP is higher than Chiropractor. Anyways, it is up to you if you want high stress then proceed with the DNP I've been a FNP for 7years with a very extensive experience. (16 years of RN). After DNP, you don't consider to be a doctor your salary doesn't change, still similar with regular Master degree FNP. If you think it's worth it then follow your instincts. I hope this help. FYI I don't regret my DNP, I love my job as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

In order to start the MSN or MSN to DNP must have at minimum a Bachelor’s degree. Hope that answered your question
