Jaime FNP ™ 🩺🦦⚕ @JaimeAPRN
@np_chat T1: I was motivated to pursue #APN bcuz I wanted the ability to help more people. I have worked w/ many NPs who were able to improve their patients life via holistic care. It also increases my autonomy and ability to pursue a different aspect of care versus floor nurse #NPChat

@StephenNP Hi Stephen, welcome back to #NPChat
Dr. Doreen Cassarino, DNP, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, FAANP @dcassarino
@np_chat T1: I wanted to be a #NursePractitioner early in my career but didn’t achieve my goal until 2000 for various reasons. I knew I could impact my patients on a different level by doing so. #NPChat #NPWeek
Katie Bates, DNP, ARNP @katiebatesdnp
@np_chat T1: I wanted to be on the proactive side of healthcare, helping to educate and prevent rather than treat acute conditions. More autonomy and responsibility, as well as pursuit of a terminal degree. #npchat

@np_chat I was pre-med but after working as a ED tech I loved what the #nurses and NPs did and how they interacted w the pts. After being a #RN for 6 yrs in trauma ICU, I wanted to have a greater impact on my community and knew I could do that as a #NP. #NPWeek #NPChat

Uppie MPH, FNP @Uppieup

T3: Can you share a meaningful patient interaction that had a profound effect on you? #NPChat #NPWeek https://t.co/aHIWrGnEoW
Dr. Doreen Cassarino, DNP, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, FAANP @dcassarino
@np_chat @AANP_NEWS The most surprising is that only 22 states, DC and 2 territories have FPA despite all the evidence supporting that #NursePractitioner provide safe, quality, cost effective care #NPChat #NPWeek
Katie Bates, DNP, ARNP @katiebatesdnp
@np_chat T2: definitely the face-to-face interaction and seeing the light bulb when I explain something to patients in a way they can understand. It takes time and effort but it’s critical and I credit my nursing background for this skill. #npchat

@np_chat I had an experience today..well I probably have one each & every day, but today I helped a patient & his family with end of life decisions. As a #NursePractitioner we help throughout the lifespan. End of life is just as important as all the other life stages. #NPChat #NPWeek

@np_chat T5. Wish I had a residency in np school- I envy md residency. Also wish we had full practice authority in all states. Wish school was more affordable or wages were higher or there was more debt forgiveness for those working in underserved areas- the debt burden is real. #npchat
