I loved every second of this interview! I keep hearing about how IR is a hidden nursing gem and I’m super interested! IRNP sounds amazing and super fun!
I’m an IR NP (certified as FNP) and I also LOVE IT!! Roxy literally hit everything we go through day to day! I fortunately have an amazing partner, she is a PA, and my life in IR is so much more easier with her! I have an ICU background, which was a huge advantage. I can’t run Fluoroscopy (California), but my techs and MDs are always there when I need them. I’m still struggling with reading images, but definitely better than my first few months. I was aiming towards being a Trauma NP, but so thankful I went the IR route! Thank you for this video!
I'm an IR NP...I have a year in and I pretty much love it! I was a new grad NP when I got hired. I was formerly an ICU nurse, and that helped a lot. I do wish NP school went over imaging more. Thank you for this video. It was nice seeing what IR NPs do in other states. I can't run fluoroscopy in OH, but the x-ray techs are awesome!
Are you an FNP or acute care?
I start my IR NP position Feb 2022. I am so excited. I loved procedures as a critical care RN..and in NP school. Thanks for this video and the references Roxy made.
thats so exciting!! congrats on the new job!
Where are these jobs. Where can i get the training.
@@miaeba mine was actually networking. Spoke with a Radiologist who was starting a group..and was looking for NPs and PAs to do procedures.
@@jmh-1002 Just interviewed for a NP roke in IR, I come from ER background. Have you started yet or are you in the credentialing process?
Not sure if you’re only looking for types of NPs but I’m a genetic counseling student and I think genetics is a great thing for more providers to get exposure to
I would LOVE to learn more about that! If you are willing to do an interview please email me! nurselizyt@gmail.com
This may sound like a dumb question but I have only seen certain types of NP programs . I am very interested in IR or Cath Lab I worked in the OR I love both . Any recommendations for NP programs to get into to work in this field ? I appreciate any feedback. I'm so glad I found this video I did know about this type of NP . I only heard of one PA in my pediatric hospital that was allowed to work in the OR it was only ortho but still it was nice to see someone other than a doctor in the OR . I like these types of videos very interesting.
I’d love to hear about working in the cath lab. I imagine the team feeling is similar to the IR with mostly day schedules.
Great interview, I’m almost finishing my FNP, I’m working as critical care nurse and also cath lab, there is anything more Cath Lab related, IR is radiologist but more in general, I’m wondering if there anything more specific for NP in the cath lab 🤔
IR nurse and NP student! Hoping to land as an IR NP! Such an awesome place to work. Does Roxy have a social media page to follow?
She doesn't as of right now but I keep telling her she should!!
could you do one on nephrology NP? Thank you!
I'm a current IR nurse as well. So if I would be an NP is acute care route is the way to go or FNP is better?
This is definitely an interesting field. Great topic!
Gonna be my new binge series, thanks Liz!
p.s: could you do a psych np?
I love this idea! I would love to see a GI NP
This is what I want to be!!! About to be a new grad nurse pretty soon
Awesome!!
It sounds like a great job but where are you getting the training it sounds like there's absolutely none
I'm from Canada and am working with Radiologists to investigate putting an NP into an Imaging Department. Would you be able to share Roxy's information so I would be able to email her for more information. Thanks so much.
I love this series! What a great idea! I work in palliative medicine
I would love to interview you if you are willing! Email me at nurselizyt@gmail.com if you are interested :)
@@NurseLiz email sent!
Oooh are you a palliative NP or PA?
@@mirabhattacharya8474 I’m a palliative NP!
she's amazing
You should make more of these video. Interesting to see NPs in all types of specialties.
Glad you liked it! Definitely planning on doing some more!
I would love to see a nurse anesthetist video!!! That’s my ultimate goal, so I’d love to see the most efficient way to achieve that goal! Thank you, Liz!!!❤️
I'll add that to the list! Thanks for the input!
Yes. Please do this Nurse Liz 😊
Lookup Bolt CRNA on RUclips for CRNA info. He's great.
Thank you.
Welcome!
Yup that’s exactly why I applied for IR…. Days! Lol. Nor I’m here researching it before my interview
Wow girl! I was just looking this up last night because I have an interview tomorrow about this position. Working as a surgical oncology NP now. Lets see how it goes. You were reading my mind. Lol
haha no way! Hope your interview goes well!
I’d love to see a hospice NP or PA video
This is very interesting & eye opening! Can you do a video on travel FNP?
For sure if I can find one!
Also a home
Health NP
This video was very helpful and interesting! Thank you!
I'm glad! Definitely planning on making more like it! Thanks for watching!
I agree, primary care is not a revenue generating field! It is so sad, because we save so much money but that doesn't seem to be recognized
it makes me so mad. The whole healthcare system would fall apart without primary care and we do SO much more connecting the dots than any other specialty but we get nothing in return
@@NurseLiz If everybody was actually healthy, then expensive surgical interventions, tertiary care facilities, and pharmaceuticals would decrease in utility and demand. This, in turn, would reduce revenue for highly-compensated specialist physicians, healthcare executives, and pharmaceutical corporations. At the end of the day, it all comes down to MONEY over people. Our current healthcare system generates MASSIVE profits for the elite class by keeping people sick. Until we refocus our national healthcare agenda on actually promoting health and preventing disease, primary care will never be adequately funded in the United States.
Love this! Can you do one for a weight management NP?
Could you do a video for Dermatology NPs?
If I find a derm NP who doesn't mind being interviewed!
@@NurseLiz Thanks, Nurse Liz :))
Hey we drill into various bones to get vascular access in emergent situations now.... no biggie! 😁
That truly sounds like my nightmare lol.
I did not watch the whole video, but did I hear laughter about how a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration does not hurt? I understand that patient experiences very, but if you’ve been doing them for any length of time at all, I am sure you have witnessed patients at the very least, wincing and moaning during the procedure, especially the aspiration just because some patient don’t experience it as negatively as some, there is quite a large majority where it is a horrific traumatic life experience changing event. I would never submit to another one without general anesthesia and I think it shows complete lack of empathy and compassion to not offer it to all patients.
