If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

Having the knowledge you have now, what would you have done differently during your NP school experience? Please share your knowledge!

Pay better attention, record lectures, study and read more vs work. Be more socially active in the university/grad school gatherings. Take more risks, get to know more folks from other specialties.

Just like highschool and undergrad. Only then I didn't have a mortgage! HA!!!

Ask for and do more clinicals..............

Yes, no joke, more clinicals in different areas. That's what I expected from the DNP curriculum, to be more like the PA/MD clinicals, and perhaps be able to specialize on top of the 700+ from the MSN.

Oh well, perhaps when when the BSN is entry (circa early 80's), we'll have a clinical DNP. One can only dream...

Gathered more knowledge about billing, contracts and some of the non-clinical info that is still very important.

When you say billing, what specifically should I be asking about? What the codes mean? or what things get billed to insurance and what doesn't?

  • Expert

How to word your charting so that you bill at the highest possible rate.

I would have found a cheaper school- that big monthly school loan payment sucks. Especially so when working alongside colleagues who passed the same board exam and make the same pay I do and accomplished it for half the price. I would have researched programs more thoroughly before deciding.

Do you mind sharing where you went?

Oh yes, billing stuff. Agree - we learned it and it was good, but I hope it's repeated until it soaks into my head! I do know my hospital runs a billing & coding course for APNs so I'll do that too once I finish.

Billing, coding and the business aspects of how to run a practice. Sadly in my program they said they didn't have time to go over those things (we asked).

Exactly what I'm talking about Viva - we as nurses don't have the business acumen needed to get what we deserve but we also don't know how to document to get the highest reimbursement. These are huge issues.

I graduated from St. Louis University. I could have gone to Vanderbilt for the same price.
