psychnp25

Hang in there. I went through that too. I have been an NP for 26 years. The problem is that schools are pumping out too many FNPs. I am a FNP who went back for my psych and the doors really opened. Even if you work part time, do it as a FNP. I even volunteered in an office to get the experience and was eventually hired. Get involved in your nursing organization who often will post jobs. Networking is everything. Volunteer to be on boards of nursing. Good luck and keep plugging. It pays off

I was a young nurse and a patient i had was dying. He grabbed my arm and pleaded with me to not let Satan who was at the foot of his bed take him. His quote. I prayed with him and he calmed down and died shortly after. Needless to say my hair stood up and I never forgot the terror in this man's eyes

I have been an NP for 26 years. There are times I regret not going to med school. I often have to keep reminders for the MD I work with. I have seen some really good MDs and others I wonder how they made it. Go into the military and apply to their med school program. I wish I had. Despite progress for NPs there are still many barriers to practice and to be honest, I am tired of fighting these barriers since I have been at it over 26 years

go into the military, preferably navy or airforce and have them pay for it. That is what I did
