Shadow NPs

[Tashipal]

Greetings allnurses, I have always been interested in the health field and now I'm seriously considering to be a nurse. I have graduated with a BS in pharmacology and I'm wondering if there is any ways that I can shadow a nurse practitioner(FNP if possible) for a day. Please let me know, thank you in advance.

If you know any NPs or other healthcare workers you could ask if they know anyone you could contact to shadow. If not then you can call around to clinics and explain your situation and ask if there is an NP you can shadow. You may have to ask several places before you find someone that will say yes because of patient confidentially but I've been surprised with the number of clinics that have allowed me to shadow so it's definitely possibly. Good luck!
