Is Nurse Practitioner School Worth It? | 5 Years as a Nurse Practitioner

Is nurse practitioner school worth it? After 5 years as a nurse practitioner, I’m sharing my honest experience with NP school, salary growth, work-life balance, and what I would do differently if I had to start over. Becoming a nurse practitioner completely changed my career and my lifestyle, but there are definitely things I wish I had known before starting NP school. In this video, I talk about my journey from registered nurse to nurse practitioner, the pros and cons of being an NP, and how the transition impacted my salary and work-life balance. As a telehealth gastroenterology nurse practitioner, I also share how my career has evolved and why the flexibility of my current role has been so valuable for my family. If you’re a nurse thinking about going back to school, or you’re currently in NP school, I hope this video gives you a realistic look at the nurse practitioner career path. Topics discussed in this video include: • My RN to NP journey • Pros of becoming a nurse practitioner • Cons of being a nurse practitioner • Salary increase after becoming an NP • My experience attending Walden University • NP school debt and return on investment • Whether NP school was worth it for me If you enjoy content about nursing careers, nurse practitioner life, gut health, and balancing career with family, make sure to subscribe for more videos. #nursepractitioner #nursepractitionerschool #isnurspractitionerschoolworthit #npschool #nursepractitionercareer #rnvsnp #nursepractitionersalary #npstudent #lifeasanursepractitioner #nursepractitionerlife #prosandconsofnursepractitioner #shouldibecomenanp #waldenuniversity #nursepractitioneradvice #healthcarecareers #rntonp #telehealthnp #familynursepractitioner #npschooljourney #nurseyoutube
