What I Wish I Knew Before Starting Nurse Practitioner (NP) School

Becoming a Nurse Practitioner has become extremely popular amongst nurses. In this video I go over 5 things I wish I had known before starting NP school. My top 5 things you should consider before starting NP school are: 1. Know the job market for the degree you will be studying. You don't want to graduate and find yourself unable to find a decent job. 2. Set a realistic expectation on what you will get paid as a new grad nurse practitioner. Sorry but its probably not $150,000, instead closer to as low as $80,000. 3. Politics. Endless politics in this field. NP vs MD/DO, NP vs insurance, nurse practitioner full practice authority, etc. 4. Stress. The stress is REAL and don't underestimate it. 5. Doing a 1 year nurse practitioner fellowship would have been a good idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram:   / ​   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by:    / ikson
