    Congratulations! I've been watching you for a while. I just finished AGNP school in May of this year. From my experience, NP school was definitely worth it! I may not make the best pay, but the benefits and my sanity outweigh all of that. I work in Sexual Health. I diagnose and treat STDs and non-STD-related infections, and I do STD/HIV prevention through Doxy-PEP and PrEP. I work for my local county health department, which is considered a state office, so I get state benefits. No weekends, no call. I'm off EVERY holiday. I love what I do! I'm happy to go to work everyday! I don't regret it AT ALL!

      @ShanekaFeaginNP Hey is the pay significantly lower

      Hi Shaneka ! How do you like working at the health department pro’s and con’s ? I have been interested in that specialty.

      @@lesliegardner9717 I make the same as I did working PRN as an RN. However, when I was working PRN as an RN, I had no benefits. I make the same, but I have benefits now 😂

      @kensfaithnfitness6583 I love working at the health department. As I mentioned earlier, the benefits are great. I also have great coworkers and a supportive work environment. The only con is that the processes of the state move slowly, and all the paperwork you have to fill out for certain things like travel. Other than that, all pros for me.

    I’m in nursing school and still getting the hang of giving a good nurse report and i get so anxious. I couldn’t IMAGINE having to do the entire head to toe plan of care presentation for multiple patients for rounds??? Ohhhh my gosh ! Lol. But you did that!! Congratulations! I’m very excited for you !

    Thanks for sharing. I'm currently in school to get my FNP, and I completed my first clinical rotation last semester. It was a rough semester to get through, and It's nice to see someone who can relate to how I've been feeling. I finish my program later this year so wish me luck.

    Congratulations!!! I was an ER nurse finished FNP in 12/23. Passed boards AANP 4/2024, decided I was going to travel for a bit to pay down debt and paid off 33K in 9 months. Now I'm finally in the job market for FNP and I'm getting a little discouraged because of pay and hours. I really don't want to work 5 days a week and I can't afford a pay cut. I've been an RN for 10 years, so I did pretty well when it comes to salary and now I feel like I have to start all over. Felling a little lost any words of encouragement would be much appreciated.

I also want to became a NICU nurse because I was a NICU mom and I really admire all those humans who work with babies . I would like to obtain my MSN in education and hopefully in a couple of years be ready to precept all the young nurses coming in .
