you are very beautiful! Thank you for this video, I am a soon to be freshman in nursing school and very excited about the journey ahead!

Thank you so much

I know this video is older, but I don't know any programs that require the GRE. 🤔 It's really not a tool which represents how successful a person will be in school, or as a nurse practitioner. If a standardized test is something schools would like to have to screen for ability - then the governing body for nursing education (national or state) should design a test reflecting one's nursing skills, critical thinking skills... and I'd argue part of the test should be to determine someone's level of empathy and psychological soundness! To think being able to score well on a non-nursing or healthcare specific test like a GRE automatically equates to being a great NP is ridiculous. Many attributes of a great care provider cannot be quantified on a standardized written test.

What do you think of Chamberlain University? That's my alma mater for my BSN.

This was so informative - thank you! So basically an ACNP can work in a specialty outpatient clinic - ie; nephrology? Thank you!

Right! Keep your hands off the vent!!!

Very good video!!

You two have great rapport. Thanks for the video!

Hi Bree. I moved to GA as a new NP and have had a difficult time finding a job as a new grad despite applying to over 100 places. Do you have any resources you can recommend or places you can connect me to ? Thank you much. God bless.!!

Is NP really worth it after 20 years as a RN…. Seems like alot of responsibilities for not enough pay. Tbh

I’m actually interested in both. I have always wanted AGACNP but wanted FNP in case I wanted to do something different later on. I actually found a school that offers a dual program for both certifications but I’m worried about working in hospital setting for years then later wanting to work outpatient as FNP and needing to brush up on skills.

Thank you for the insight. I begin my new job as ACNP for a vascular group next week. As a critical care nurse with 18 years experience, the Imposter Syndrome feels very real.

This is exactly what I needed ! <3 thank you

I need your advice , what’s the strategy to get through 13 weeks Pharmacology ; I want to make an A, I am also working full time - 40 hrs to pay my bills

Absolutely amazing advice! Great points and totally makes sense!

Thank you for this.

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful content. Continue being great❤

They should be paid much much less considering they're failed doctors.

my emr does not have dot phrases. what is a work around?

I'm going from primary care to nephrology. Any advice?

Thank you for this . I really just want to be a wound care nurse NP , but there's no programs just for that and I keep hearing that FNP program is overflooded and everyone does it. It just deterred me until I remembered a NP was doing wound care at the wound clinic , but she was ACNP

AGACNP: what is the difference between ACNP?

How long would the training be for an ACNP to go back for FNP?

I think AGACNP is the FNP version of inpatient / hospital .

I need help I'm a cvicu nurse and just got accepted into an fnp program. As of right now I want to work in some sort of outpatient specialty preferably cardiology. If I did fnp could I go back and get another certification in acute care in a reasonable amount of time to work in the hospital?

Very interesting and informative article 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Why is America downgrading the health care to NP instead of qualified doctors? In future, lets allow 5 year experienced MA to work like NP, they know equally. NP who has 17 month of training is not F*ing touching me. WannabeDoctor pretenders!!!

Can you take ACNP if you plan to go in aesthetic NP?

Akeela, you have worked so hard, and I have seen your journey. So proud of you. Keep shining bright.

This was such a good video to see. I had been debating entering an accelerated BSN program the past few months and I finally committed to it! I start in May and I look forward to begin my nursing journey. Someday I’ll get to NP!

Wonderful

So prpyd of you my friend, Akeela ❤

Great interview! I've been in Cardiology for 2 years, and Oncology keeps nudging me. Thank you!

Love your home <3 new grad nurse considering grad school & this was very helpful.

Im struggling with finding which specialty. I need a remote job due to health issues which makes me lean towards psych but my true passion lies in chronic illnesses but FNPs make the same as RNs in my state and it is oversaturated so not worth the return of investment :(

Thank you for this video; it has given me a lot of education about the difference between the ACNP and FNP roles. I just started my FNP classes last summer not really understanding that ACNP was even an option. I don't regret my decision to start my FNP, and I'm hoping I enjoy it, but it's good to know there are other options in case it's not for me.

One small word of advice, if you are doing a zoom interview be aware of your body movements and hands. Everytime she hits her hands on her desk it's distracting and loud. It might be helpful to aim the camera not below, where she is looking down but more head on if possible. Sometimes sounds are more magnified in the online environment than they would be if you were face to face.

I was told from professional recruiters that in interviews no need to state your age, if you are married, single, have kids etc.

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been a nurse for 8 years, mostly in ICU, and I’ve been debating on going back for my NP.

Which schools are diploma mills?

Thank you for this accurate depiction, great video! You are a very well-spoken individual.

Yes! Understand why and that knowledge is yours to keep. Recognizing patterns only gets you so far.

I love your teaching ma’am .

So can a AGACNP work in a women’s health clinic

What self-study programs would you recommend?

Thanks for your VDO and teaching. I just newly graduated NP😅

Nurse for 14yrs, OCN, & Oncology chemo RN for 12. Im currently doing the BSN-DNP adult-gero primary care & Oncology program. Im very passionate about malignant-heme and I recently applied for acute-care post masters because i want to manage CRS & ICANS in acute care setting for patients on Car-T and BiTe tx. I hope Im doing the right thing. I got my masters and primary care cert (while in the program) & im currently doing Onco 3 and will sit for aocnp in May 2024, then start my acute care np in the summer on top of my DNP and I know it will be a lot but my malignant heme patients inspire me! I left the hospital 4 years ago and started giving chemo in an outpatient setting while in NP school but like you I am a hospital girl. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm also a dual ACNP/FNP. I was a critical care RN before embarking on my NP career. I really wanted the flexibility of the dual certification, so if I decide to do travel NP down the road, I wouldn't be limited. It really helped me get my foot in the door as a new grad because I had nearly double the clinical hours. I had ICU, hospitalist and ER clinical hours in addition to FNP clinical hours. Was definitely worth it pursuing the dual degree!
