ANCC exams won't bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs brenda... She's God sent, she saved me from taking the test for the 6th time
Believe me ,what ever you do never give up, finally I've become a NP on my 3rd attempt , I can’t believe I almost gave up after not making it for the 2nd time ,fortunately for me I was recommended to a tutor by my friends
We have a lot in common with a special recommended tutor , having tutor who sacrifices all they have for their students is not very necessary, mr DAVID equally took me to his WhatsApp group and made me feel like a student, thank God of him if not I would not has succeeded this year. Am so grateful 🤲 for him
I’m in school now and my goal is to finish with a DNP! My mother in law - to this day - still ask if I will then get my RN 😂 some people just don’t get it!
Nursing Student Raphael Smith good for you! i’m a high school junior who’s looking to take that path as well after i graduate! how’s the experience so far?
@@bogiewogie2299 I am a sophmore I want to eventually becoming a Nurse Anesthetist but that will soon take a doctorate degree. I want to go back to school later on to get that final degree!
hi! i loved the video, and i’m even more motivated to become an np now. my question is, is it worth it? i’ve heard many stories of those in medical careers that regretted it because it didn’t give them a good work/life balance and they couldn’t enjoy life.
Yes, especially within the confines of academia. However, in practice that isn't always agreed upon. Personally, I think you can refer to yourself as Dr. ____ so long as you ensure that the patient understands that you are a Nurse Practitioner - "Hi I'm Dr. Kelly, a Nurse Practitioner here in the Hospital". However, I understand how this can cause some confusion or patients, and is a personal decision.
Not in a clinical setting as they aren't the terminal degree for clinical medicine practice. Its a great way to annoy physicians who have egos about them and it confuses people.
After your BSN, you will need to work as a NICU RN for at least 2 years I believe. Then you can apply to Neonatal Nurse Practitioner programs. Just like other NP programs - most will offer Master's degrees while few only grant doctorate. As of now - there is no real difference clinically between MSN and DNP, no significant difference in pay, and most areas willingly hire both! Good luck!
I’m studying nursing rn. I was thinking of studying further after I graduate. Some of my friends (who are studying adult nursing too) are thinking of doing masters in physician associate after a couple of years of working as a nurse and some are thinking of doing nurse practitioner. I was wondering if it’s possible to do physician associate if you have a nursing degree? Also which one would be better? being a PA or a NP? Any suggestion?
Hey! So in my opinion, if you are already a practicing nurse it makes more sense to become an NP. With nursing education, you likely won't have the required pre-requisites for PA school. This will take a few semesters before even applying to PA school. While PA school is somewhat more structured and comprehensive (imo), NP school will also give you a great education. Also as an NP there is generally more autonomy depending on your state of facility of practice.
I'm an ADN student, I have one semester left before I take the NCLEX. I'm not sure where to go from here to apply to a NP school. What requirements/tests do I need?
Your'e so close, you got this! As far as to be an NP, you'll want to look into RN-to-MSN (or DNP) NP programs. However, not every school will have a program to take you from ADN to MSN or DNP, so you may need to first obtain your BSN before applying to a standard MSN/DNP NP program.
I would suggest actually working as an RN to gain experience prior to going to NP school. I have found that new RNs who go straight to NP school really struggle after graduation due to a lack of experience
Very informative sir,I just completed my seniorhigh this year,and planning to enter in nursing,may I just ask sir.How long would it take to finish/to complete the nurse practitioner,is it exactly 8yrs or more than?
Hey, 8 years is a good estimate. Those who go straight into NP school could finish it in about 6.5 years, but 7-10 years is a good estimate, depending on how long you work at the bedside before returning to get your MSN.
Do most nurse practitioner programs require you to work as an RN prior to applying? I know that many specialized NP roles do but is that always the case ? I feel like FNP is the only one that you can apply straight to without as much work experience
hey will! i have just finished my 4 year Bsc degree (i live in greece) and i just wanted to asked you what are you allowed to do as a surgical ANP from a scope of practice? like are you allowed to suturing and act like a surgeons first assistant? btw great channel! ;)
Hey! I actually don't know much about surgical NPs - as far as I know there's not a specific education track. Your scope of practice would depend on the state that you practice (here in the United States), or country. As long as the scope allows, you can work for a surgeon and can assist in surgeries. I know of a few NPs who assist, but this usually entails holding equipment, an extra set of sterile hands, and suturing.
Hi!! If I recently graduated from BSN, do I have to work necessarily or can I apply for a nurse practitioner program as soon as I finish my bachelor’s?
There is no minimum requirement of work for most programs. Mostly all you need is graduation from an accredited BSN program and an unencumbered RN license. However, it is highly recommended to get some experience as a bedside RN before becoming an NP. This will help you dramatically - even if its just for a few years. If you do go directly through, I recommend you work at least PT as a nurse throughout your program.
Hi! My name is Gabriel. I am from Brazil. I am studant the of nurse. Can the ANP in independent practice determine patient hospitalization and hospital discharge? Thanks
Can a nurse practitioner replace a doc?Im trying to decide if i should get a new doc or a nurse practitioner i have some chronic diseases like a thyroid issue and pcos among other things and lately heart symptoms like chest pain and arm pain have gone to the er had 2 chest xrays,2 ekgs and blood work and was told im fine though my primary doc did find some high bad cholesterol,im on lipitor for anyways just trying to find a good,empathetic health care provider.
The best way is to apply to a program. If doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) is your end-goal - apply for a DNP program. However, this doesn't offer a whole lot of job improvement in terms of clinical expertise or salary - so many just choose to do a master's program for half the time and money. If you want to teach or be involved in leadership - DNP is the way to go There are online programs, hybrid programs, and 100% in-person programs. Choose what works best for you and your lifestyle.
Necromante Errante if you watch the video it explains what a nurse practitioner is. An advanced practice nurse is another name for nurse practitioner. I discuss more in depth on how to become a nurse practitioner in my NP vs MD video! Basically, 4 years BSN, 1+ year working, then 2-3years MSN.
Hey congrats for your video . I have master degree in advance oncology nursing and chemo administration from Cyprus. Here still not recognize the apn roles. Everybody is a general nurse. What is the procedure to move in USA for Apn role in oncology. I have 10 years experience in oncology department. I will appreciate if you reply me.
I'm a french nurse. I would like to be a nurse practitioner. I would probably do my master degree in Canada. Do you think nurse practitioner programs can match with yours in order to be hired in USA if I want to?
Nursing with Professor B yes I do! My video editor is Final Cut Pro X and for graphics I draw with my iPad (or find free stock images), and animate mostly with PowerPoint believe it or not lol
One has more education in the role of teaching, research and administration i believe. There is no expanding scope of practice or further education on clinical sciences.
Sir,could u plz tell me what all are the requirements needed for a registered nurse in uk to become a nurse practitioner.im expecting ur valuable reply
yvette fountain yes! That’s actually what I do as my Full time job :) it depends on the specific State and facility but most if not all States allow NPs to do admissions in the hospital. Sometimes a physician will need to see them within 24 hours for full billing purposes.
yvette fountain NPs can bill at a fraction of what physicians can (usually 75-85%). Not saying this is how it should be - but it is definitely how it is. Due to this - a physician must at least have a face-to-face encounter with the patient every day that an NP also sees the pt in order to bill @ 100%. Basically they are double-checking everything and signing off. But honestly it’s not a huge deal in the hospital - patients are very sick and I’m super thankful to have multiple physicians and specialists on board helping to give the patient the best possible care. Collaboration and team-work are necessary in this setting.
@@yvettefountain7701 No we don't shadow a doctor. It depends on your facility on how it all works - but usually NPs are part of the hospitalist team who admit patients. They present the case to their attending who might make recommendations on changes to the plan. Other NPs work for certain physician groups and might round in the hospital for them as well and discuss anything they don't feel comfortable with. Personally I work for "House Coverage" - meaning I admit patient's of physician's who have hospital privileges at my specific hospital. I will see the patient - perform a history and physical - put in their orders - and write their note. 9 times out of 10 I do not discuss with the attending physician unless there is any uncertainty.
Hey! There are a few different path's one can take - but the most common is 4 years of Undergraduate Nursing degree (BSN), then 2-3 years of an NP Graduate Program. So between 6-7 years total. However - most NPs work for a time before going back for their NP - although this is not required by most NP programs. Some NPs decide to obtain their Doctorate of Nursing Practice afterwards or concurrently, which can take an additional 2 years of full-time study.
Can NR also work in the emergency section of the hospital like caring for patient in trauma or just care for the patients, also is it true that with being a nurse practitioner you can pretty much work anywhere in the hospital as NR can work with any age range?
by NR do you mean Registered Nurse (RN)? Yes RNs can work anywhere within healthcare and hospital settings. They are the backbone of healthcare. I worked as an ER nurse in the past, and Trauma Nurses are essential to the Trauma teams. And yes, the RN licensure does not limit you based on any age range.
Does a nurse practitioner have lateral flexibility like an physician assistant have ? Once you graduate as an np, do you have to choose a speciality and stick with it or can you change it like an pa can ?
It depends on their NP certification. FNPs are the most versatile and can work with any age group - just generally excluded from acute care settings like ICUs. ACNPs can work with any acute setting as long as the patients are older than 13. Pediatric NPs are limited to children. Psych NPs are limited to psych roles, etc. So to answer your question - it depends! lol Definitely less lateral flexibility than a PA though.
Hi, I'm a french nurse. Do you think that my french professionnal experience can be recognized in Canada if I pass the Nclex-RN exam in order to start the NP program ? Have a great day, greetings from France 🇲🇫
Sorry for the delay! I don't know much about international licensure, but I did some googling and it looks like you have to apply. More info can be found here www.cna-aiic.ca/en/nursing-practice/career-development/work-in-canada
RcDw Well what people are saying is true LOL. The weather is very bipolar, and bad things happen a lot. I was just giving an example though. I do not recommend this state 😂.
Shawn Vibez Lol I live in Chicago Illinois. The average salary for a practitioner is around $112K I just wanted to know if the starting salary would be high too.
So is a NP a little bit of nurse and a little bit of doctor, like would you do the stuff that nurses and doctors do? And also what is the average salary for a NP?
You could think of it like that - but that would be a bit misleading. We are nurses with advanced education and training, but definitely not physicians. However, we do not perform the job of an RN. I work in the hospital and I don't administer medications or take a traditional "patient assignment". Our job roles function much more similarly to the physician - just usually we work in collaboration with them. So instead of working as a Nurse, I do a History and Physical of patients, order appropriate diagnostics and medications/treatments, consult appropriate specialists, and write a note in the system of the encounter.
As for salary - it will depend on clinical specialty and location. Outpatient offices making less (about 80-100K/year), and inpatient/ER making more (about 100-120K/year). Starting salaries are typically in that range and will increase over time.
@@_pare.pear_7278 Yes - you maintain your RN certification so you can work as an RN. However, it is a legal grey area and if sued - you are expected to practice at the full extent of your scope. However - as an employee you are expected to practice within your hired role. So it can be tricky. I do know some NPs who work part-time as RNs and have no issues.
Total years from high school graduation to ACNP MSN could be as early as 6-7 years, although some ICU RN experience will most likely be necessary, so realistically more like 8-9 years.
If you complete your doctorate degree (such as the DNP), your title would be "Dr. ___", and you can rightly call yourself that. However, you should still emphasize your title as nurse practitioner to all your patients IMO. This is a debated topic in the medical professional world.
hmm I'm not aware of any specific laws regarding the prescription of sonograms, but I am no lawyer. However, I can tell you that NP's are licensed to prescribe diagnostic imaging including ultrasounds/sonograms, and I frequently order these tests in practice.
Hannah Violet it depends where you work, but generally between 36-40 hours a week. I work 30h/week in the ER for reference, whereas when I worked as a hospitalist I worked 36h/week (6 on, 8 off)
Still not a do or md..still not even near the education of a doctor or training of a md or d.o..a glorified nurse with a extra bit more education than a regular rn..that's it
@@mattgehm7827 You're an idiot. Your previous comments prove it. DO and DOM may learn tools in the allopathic model but they are not medical (purely allopathic degrees). Learn the different health care paradigms before you comment and remove all doubt about your level of intellect.

Just like other NP programs - most will offer Master's degrees while few only grant doctorate.

How manny years of College does it take to become a nurse practitioner
Hey! There are a few different path's one can take - but the most common is 4 years of Undergraduate Nursing degree (BSN), then 2-3 years of an NP Graduate Program. So between 6-7 years total. However - most NPs work for a time before going back for their NP - although this is not required by most NP programs. Some NPs decide to obtain their Doctorate of Nursing Practice afterwards or concurrently, which can take an additional 2 years of full-time study.

So is a NP a little bit of nurse and a little bit of doctor, like would you do the stuff that nurses and doctors do? And also what is the average salary for a NP?
You could think of it like that - but that would be a bit misleading. We are nurses with advanced education and training, but definitely not physicians. However, we do not perform the job of an RN. I work in the hospital and I don't administer medications or take a traditional "patient assignment". Our job roles function much more similarly to the physician - just usually we work in collaboration with them. So instead of working as a Nurse, I do a History and Physical of patients, order appropriate diagnostics and medications/treatments, consult appropriate specialists, and write a note in the system of the encounter.
As for salary - it will depend on clinical specialty and location. Outpatient offices making less (about 80-100K/year), and inpatient/ER making more (about 100-120K/year). Starting salaries are typically in that range and will increase over time.
@@WillKellyNP I have a question: would you still be able to act as a nurse even when you're a NP.
@@_pare.pear_7278 Yes - you maintain your RN certification so you can work as an RN. However, it is a legal grey area and if sued - you are expected to practice at the full extent of your scope. However - as an employee you are expected to practice within your hired role. So it can be tricky. I do know some NPs who work part-time as RNs and have no issues.
What is the total year it take to be np (acnp) ?? U need bsn and msn i get that but isnt that enough ?
Total years from high school graduation to ACNP MSN could be as early as 6-7 years, although some ICU RN experience will most likely be necessary, so realistically more like 8-9 years.
I thought it was funny when NP came into patient’s room and said “I’m a doctor”. I was like no you are not. You are a nurse!
After nursing practitioner we can able to open clinic sir
Yes, NPs can certainly open up their own practices. However, depending on the state they still may need a collaborative physician.
Thank you sir
after doing np can be add doctor before my name
If you complete your doctorate degree (such as the DNP), your title would be "Dr. ___", and you can rightly call yourself that. However, you should still emphasize your title as nurse practitioner to all your patients IMO. This is a debated topic in the medical professional world.
Do you know laws on prescription of sonogram for np?
hmm I'm not aware of any specific laws regarding the prescription of sonograms, but I am no lawyer. However, I can tell you that NP's are licensed to prescribe diagnostic imaging including ultrasounds/sonograms, and I frequently order these tests in practice.
How many hours do NPs work weekly?
Hannah Violet it depends where you work, but generally between 36-40 hours a week. I work 30h/week in the ER for reference, whereas when I worked as a hospitalist I worked 36h/week (6 on, 8 off)
level 4 nurse
can i work as a nurse while studying to be a np
Absolutely, that's what I and many others have done / do!
do nurse practitioners perform surgery ?
They can assist and prefrom basic procedures such as sutures and hold instruments. They are not the lead.
At least you don't get called an ambulance driver after doing a 3 year honors degree and an additional year of training......FML
Alhamdulillah ❤️
How long were you a nurse before becoming a NP?.. lol
Moxormog 4 years
Still not a do or md..still not even near the education of a doctor or training of a md or d.o..a glorified nurse with a extra bit more education than a regular rn..that's it
😁
Can a nursing practitioner become a GP(doctor)in UK?
No, NP is not the equivalent to a medical degree (MD/DO in the US)
@@mattgehm7827 DO is NOT a medical degree- its an osteopathic degree
@@agoogleuser6902 lol ok sure thing, do a little research about US DO programs before you comment
@@mattgehm7827 You're an idiot. Your previous comments prove it. DO and DOM may learn tools in the allopathic model but they are not medical (purely allopathic degrees). Learn the different health care paradigms before you comment and remove all doubt about your level of intellect.
@@agoogleuser6902 lol you're a troll 🤣 thanks for the entertainment

Alexia Justice you don’t have to specialize on kids..
Hi Alexia. The nursing field is really broad. Lots of programs from orthopedic to psychiatric NP or Adult Acute Care NP.
