Is the NP/PA market saturated + tips for finding your dream job 

I'm not sure... A lot of articles (whether credible or not) show shortages of physicians and nurses. I think medical schools, in particular, have TENS of THOUSANDS of applicants, but only a couple HUNDRED or so seats. So it's very competitive, and i think that they wanna keep it that way because of high demand and low supply, so doctors have more prestige and expenses to their services. There are other reasons, too, like limited residency/fellowship places, higher costs to train doctors (esp in certain specialties), and limited funding for all that. It's very logical for healthcare workers to work in cities b/c of a steady amount of patients -> that translates to stable revenue. Let's say there is a rural opportunity -> how can you thrive in a small town to recoup your student loans/debt from medical school? So anyways, I personally think cities are ideal for medical/healthcare workers due to population density, career opportunities for mentors & referrals nearby, opportunities for family (like spouses or kids) to have other jobs, and just the network/connections with other services.

@@chrisnguyen5922 Keeping it competitive maintains standards. Doctor's got people's lives in their hands, it isn't like a car mechanic working on your car.

I agree. The market has swung a bit sine I made this. So many bedside friends want to get out. I hate it because people may be pursing for the wrong reasons, but I don’t want to dissuade someone who has drive and passion.

Spanish is easy to learn honestly

@@chalinillo12.75 Well, compared to learning Chinese or Arabic, sure! Spanish is more easy to learn from an English standpoint. However, if you're bilingual and have a ton of information in your head as you get older, then it's super challenging to be good at. (Brain density is a thing -> like you can only fit so much information before it's perishable and you forget it if u don't use it frequently).

This is wonderful news! I’m glad you found success. It’s so regional that’s why it’s hard to give blanket advice.

Depending on where you work and what the region looks like you may be in a sellers market. Too much supply, not enough demand.

My pleasure

Covid has changed so many things - staffing shortages and bedside pay is better than what I make right now too. Historically though for ACNP and critical care it is better paying than RN. Are you FNP? I ask because in my area for ACNP school is number one decision maker for the new grad. The only caveat is someone who was a student with us and we are aware of their skill set. Otherwise the market is way too tight - if 10 people apply and we don’t know them school is the major deciding factor.

That’s awesome! You’ve done well. Congratulations and best wishes on your journey. Best career ever.

It was one of the most agonizing and rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. Best wishes in your journey - whatever road it takes you down!

Well said

Or a shortage of employers/ people treating healthcare workers like people

Don’t give up! Focus on your why. If your reasons are legit there will be a place for you.

Just like nursing or any health-related scenarios, you have to move forward, not dwell on the negative, and look at the bigger picture. You may not find an opportunity in a population-dense location due to competition. But that doesn't mean the job search is grim. If city to city doesn't work, then look state to state (i.e, Alaska, Kansas, etc lol). Or try Canada (idk). Whatever the case is, you can still fill in the gaps of the nursing shortage as a travel nurse (temporarily) and negotiate for a higher pay due to experience / level of education :D

Watch the video I made entitled: Turn clinicals into job offers

With no prior nursing experience you mean? I think it’s a bad idea. It was never great but now that the market is so tough you will have major problems finding a job. Sorry, I strongly feel you need bedside experience. The long route is the wiser choice.

@@BreeJuskowiak Thank you! The school I'm attending offers this option but I won't be pursuing it.

Are you on FB or Instagram? Look me up: Briana Juskowiak. Then send me a DM. I’ll let you know

If you do not have FNP you can’t work anywhere that treats babies or mommies or children.

Hi Brendon. I think it boils down to what specialty you want to pursue. Since the filming of this video I’m already seeing saturation on my world of critical care. So if that’s your focus it is a high concern. I also am hearing people say their salary is not equivalent to ROI for education. This seems to be concerning for bedside folks who are high earning. I still think it all boils down to job fulfillment and short term vs long term goals. Highly personalized decision.

Some people despite the saturation. Like myself i hope when i graduate np school i will have a high payong job however i will alsp be happy just having a job. there are people like me that simply want to be in a different role than a bedside nurse and have a passion for a different role and saturation or npt low pay or not that will not deter me from pursing that. Being a bedside nurse is dofficult to do for many years it is harder on the physical body where being a provider would me more mentally provider. there are very few instances i have worked with any provider that helps to lift heavy patients to assist in cleaning the patients and long term that is taxing on the body. To sum up what im saying money is not the only driver as go why someone will become an np if that is the only incentive that might be the wrong incentative. but it can be a combination of factors that makes so.eone want to pursue that like i said for me its i want a change in role and even if i made the same i would be satified because im no longer carrying out the order rather i a m working with a doctor to write the orders.

What a sweet thing to say. TY 😘

No. The only thing DNP gets you is the ability to teach or lecture at a higher price. You can still lecture at MSN level just for a little less reimbursement.
