From the outside looking in, we all know who does all of the work and who spends more time with the patients, listens to them, and cares about them. It's all levels of nurses, while some medical doctors have egos bigger than the room they stand in. If it were not for my labor and delivery nurse, my baby would not be 11 today. God bless nurses, especially those who care about their patients.
No shit. Nurses were made to constantly monitor patients because doctors have 15 other people to manage, you take away the doctor and now you have nobody coming up with a care plan and the patient ultimately gets hurt. You obviously don’t work in healthcare.
Thank you but I’m struggling. I don’t like my schedule because it’s taking me away from the joys of my life. It’s not easy, I appreciate your kindness.
Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet"; you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.
Wait a np has less school and can practice alone no supervision but a PA who does more school and training and they need to be supervised but a nurse practitioner don't? I saw a NP for a few years my autoimmune diseases were starting and yeah she had no clue. She also said my gallbladder issues was IBS ignore my gallbladder and I almost died bc it exploded and had emergency surgery they said definitely I would have died in less than a day. They said we recommend you see a medical doctor. I would be salty too as a doctor and a PA. And I have mad respect they you understand why they are upset. I agree no training just jump in. That can go wrong. I love you girl! Your honesty and being real makes it easy to respect you
@@KendraRN your keeping it real. I respect the hell out of that. But what I love about you that you want to learn from the doctor your with and it build knowledge and experience. But I totally could see you in women's health. We pack good people in the area. I'll be praying for you. Kick some school but. Your a strong educated women mad respect for that.
I love seeing your growth! As a current CNA student with goals of completing my ADN your videos are so realistic. BTW you keep looking younger and younger I didn’t even recognize you when the video came up on my feed lol
My son is finishing up his Fellowship in 2 weeks. (Finally!!!). He loved the NPs that he worked with during his residency and Fellowship. He did notice a difference in the education level with the NP who went to class at a university versus those who did an online NP program. Disclaimer: This is just his experience that I am sharing. The online NPs had to find their own clinical hours and voiced their frustration with trying to find preceptors who were willing to take them on in clinicals. The "brick and mortar" NPs, were assigned sites and preceptors. I know that every experience and school provides a different experience, so I am just sharing information about the programs he was told about. Good luck with your NP program!!!
You are going to be an excellent np! I took 3 classes & dropped out. It was very stressful 😫 Keep up the amazing work! It'll be worth it in the end ✨️ 🙌🏽👏🏾
Hey Kendra! Girl I can do much about the entire NP vs MD vs PA situation, I will say and I have said that is NP’s are not fully prepared when we get finished! All the best to you and I hope this semester goes well and stress free for you! The MD’s that embrace NP’s are precious.
You look so young and fresh and natural with your natural hair. Such a bright and fresh faced student you are. These educational videos are great! I’ve read many MDs may not like the expanding role of the NP. This seems to have a trajectory of continued expansion however. I agree more NP residencies would be great training opportunity! Does Emory offer ones? (Not sure.). Sounds like you are training with a good doctor who is nice enough not to charge! Keep up the good work! Hope you can post more videos on educational journey and classes and stuff. Perhaps in the not so distant future there may be an NP to MD bridge program or something. Good luck on your exam. Let us know how it went! 🙂
@@Bri-nc8yp Was thinking along the lines of a post baccalaureate program or structured premedical curriculum for busy working nurses (and other health care workers) interested in taking/or re-taking expired premed courses and also prep to sit for the mcat for acceptance into a 4- year MD or OD school.
I think it’s awesome that NP’s can operate independently, I actually prefer seeing an NP than an actual physician or physician assistant because NP’s tend to be more attentive, empathetic and thorough. Where I lived in Texas a lot of practices are owned by Physicians but technically ran by the NP. Texas tells you, you aren’t required to be under their supervision but after reading the laundry list of the stipulations and everything you’re going to need one on Payroll eventually (but that’s Texas for you). I am enjoying your videos and I pray you have a blessed birthday! Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎁
Kendra! So proud of you. Keep up the good work. I am finally done with my last clinical. Of course I have a whole bunch of assignments to do before The semester is over. I’ve only worked with NPs and I don’t know what my experience would’ve been like with a doctor. I believe we have our place, and doctors have theirs. At the last clinical site we did plenty of referrals. We all be need to play out part. And yes, I do wish me had more training 😢
Congrats, you’re at the finish line. I think I need to get my next few rotations with a NP, just to see their method to all the clinical madness. Keep me posted on your job hunt etc!
Thank you so much for Kendra. I love all your videos. I have been thinking about going back to school for my NP for years now. I am in my 40's now and am still doing bedside nursing. I just don't want to do bedside nursing forever. I want to do more in my career. I have been holding myself back. But I am really considering going back to school to further my education. You really inspire me. Keep up the good work.
Just found your channel and subscribed. It looks like you have a great clinical site in this video and I look forward to watching more of your content.
Happy birthday ☺. In response to the points you raised, I believe that overall, the health care system benefits greatly from nurse practitioners because they can fulfill the needs of many patients and at more affordable costs. The extensive education and training of an MD is not needed a large percentage of the time, and many MDs are not able to give enough attention to everyone on their long list of patients. I've been treated by NPs who work alongside MDs and my experiences have so far been good.
Thank you! I avoided it for years but floor nursing isn’t sustainable anymore. My body can’t handle it and that is what made me go back. I needed to explore other options. Think about it.
Okay so I wanted to let you know this because I want to shout out to my nurse practitioners out there who are better than some medical doctors I've ever seen. Saturday I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms. So my cases are presented as normal but I had epiploic appendagitis two months ago which normally it's rare and can be caused by DVT blood clot now they never checked me for DVT blood clot they just said because I gained weight for the first time in my life that could be would have caused it. So Saturday when I went to the hospital I told him all my symptoms they saw all my oxygen rate my blood pressure was through the roof the highest I've seen it and it was actually 170 / 92 extreme amount of pain but she did all the results all of that my D dimer was 1300 so I have a bunch of small now they checked my heart they checked my brain they did all that I mean they're probably should have did an MRI but whatever they checked all of that and they said that it's in both my lungs more on my left side then my right my right has like four small little blood clots my left long has a bunch on the bottom which only collapse the low part which is why I had problems breathing. So this entire year I had severe inflammation due to my autoimmune disease and I constantly get ignored on a daily basis I used to be an athlete I used to never sit down I was always on the go I usually do 10 miles a day walking like I'm always on the go. For one year I was ignored completely ignored all the time they blamed my autoimmune diseases and said that's probably why you're in pain blah blah blah all this other crap no that's overall pain you would get not just a specific spot so it was a nurse practitioner who I saw in the hospital it was her that was smart enough to realize that how it presented was rare and to look for pulmonary embolism anyway and because of herI was diagnosed and helped before anything's severe or serious happened Grant is a little hard to breathe and pain royally sucks not going to lie. But if it wasn't for her it would have been way worse for me and I would have been ignored like usual. So shout out to the smart and thinks out side the box NP bc she saved my life
I recommend completing a residency with the VA. A NP rotated with me and I wrote her a recommendation and she got in. . She is doing amazing at the VA hepatology clinic. She felt prepared after the residency and they pay her an amazing wage. Maybe the doc you work with would be willing to help you.
@@KendraRN Yw :). Also do not forget the benefits are amazing. We are better off working for the government than the corporations or physicians (I am a physician).The VA comes with bureaucracy but they treat HCWs better. GL you will do amazing because you are an advocate and understand the patients.
Omg i am so glad i found you! I am going thro the same thing with an MD for a preceptor,and happens to be indian too😂. I feel so unprepared and this is my last semester,but i saw someone suggested here that i can seek out a np residency with the VA🤔i know i am a bit late but i am a new subbie!
My inspiration right here. Prepping myself for my end if semester exams in a weeks time. At 40, you make me want to go further with my education. Be blessed sis
I really like you. You are so truthful and awesome. I love seeing positive black role models for my daughter. But she doesn't share my passion for Medicine. lol.
Thank you for sharing, I am currently in a dual enrollment program for FNP and AGAC-NP. In the state of NC several hospitals offer residency to new graduate NP's, I wish they offered the same for clinic or urgent care settings. I am unsure of which setting I want to work in which is why I opted for dual enrollment. I am hoping that once I start clinical it will guide my decision.
Hi Kendra , happy birthday!! As a NP- I am surprised that the preceptor can charge the NP student?!!? How much do they charge on average? That seems over the top as many practices end up offering the NP student a job upon graduation Wow
Hi Chris! Where are you located? Yes many MDs and NPs charge students. There are companies out there that partner with providers and market those services to NP students in need of clinical hours.
@@KendraRN I grad from NP school in 2012 So likely has come about more recently. I live in Buffalo NY. I was assigned my first preceptor and she earned credits towards her np recertification in return. I’m glad I didn’t pay as she was brutal and it was all stress and not a great learning experience. I had to find my own preceptors remainder of program but I didn’t have to pay. I so admire your honesty and integrity on your channel!!
I enjoy your content! I am an RN, and I also live in MD. Which school do you attend? I was accepted a couple of years ago for an NP program, and after calculating the cost of it, I got scared and decided not to attend. I still dream with the idea of getting my NP degree.
@@KendraRN I extended my contract 2day. They negotiated with me & will cut the new contract by $200/wk. I'll shoot myself later 4 going back 2 this ratchet place, but I refuse 2 bring home less than $3k/wk after taxes. I told them I'll do 8 weeks & put n RTO.
Kendra can I ask, is the doctor you were with Haitian? When you imitated his accent saying “No no I need you to think smart” it sounded just like a Haitian accent 😂😂 I’m haitian myself and as soon as you said it I was like YUP dude has to be Haitian!! Lol I have a Haitian nursing professor and it’s also something she would say too
A Psych NP friend did a residency program at the VA and she told me it made a whole lot of difference. As a psych np program student, I’d strongly advocate for policies that require us to do complete residency programs so we can have full autonomy and equal pay as the doctors.
Like you said, it’s perfectly okay for physicians to feel that way. After all the years of schooling. But I feel it’s about capitalism. Also, I don’t feel comfortable with a new grad NP working without supervision. I would say I recommend new NPs should work under supervising physicians for at least 2 years. You will learn a lot. 2 years is too small for learning all the medicine things. NP school needs more extension and reform to say 4 years so that a lot more can be covered. PS: I’m a nurse but this is my honest opinion
The physicians or physicians assistant has to understand the federal government is looking at the cost of care. Unfortunately, for them, it’s cost less to be treated by a FNP vs a MD or a PA. But please believe we will NEVER receive the same pay or recognition 🤷🏾♀️.
From the outside looking in, we all know who does all of the work and who spends more time with the patients, listens to them, and cares about them. It's all levels of nurses, while some medical doctors have egos bigger than the room they stand in. If it were not for my labor and delivery nurse, my baby would not be 11 today.

Thank you but I’m struggling. I don’t like my schedule because it’s taking me away from the joys of my life. It’s not easy, I appreciate your kindness.
Well, I've taken the exams for the 4th time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it. 😭💔
Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't
take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet"; you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.
I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that l've not lost hope.
Nclex test is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so much. 🤦♂️💔😭

Kudos on the clinical placement. That’s the hardest part.
So tired of school I don't know what to do. God bless 🙌🏾 🙏🏽
You and I both
Thanks for sharing your journey! I’m inspired to go back to NP school. Any advice on FNP or Acute Care. I don’t want to be limited to just ICU.
I chose FNP because I have no interest in working in the hospital for long hours. My goal is to possibly go into the wellness/beauty industry.
Hey thanks for sharing I’m so stuck between FNP or PMHNP but I know with FNP it’s so much you can choose from or specialize in.. ❤

You will learn a lot. 2 years is too small for learning all the medicine things. NP school needs more extension and reform to say 4 years so that a lot more can be covered.
PS: I’m a nurse but this is my honest opinion
The physicians or physicians assistant has to understand the federal government is looking at the cost of care. Unfortunately, for them, it’s cost less to be treated by a FNP vs a MD or a PA. But please believe we will NEVER receive the same pay or recognition 🤷🏾♀️.
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing this! I will send to my classmates.
Yes, you’re right.
Kendra you're beautiful ❤️
🥰🥰 Thank you for saying that.
I don't ever want to practice independent tho i prefer working under an MD.
Now that I am in my clinical rotation, I understand why.
May I know the name of the institution and provider please? 🙏🏻
