    You guys I am SO excited to share with you my experience in NP school. I am pursuing a Women's Health NP degree and I could not be more excited!! I knew someday I would get my master's in nursing but it's hard to believe that day is here. I miss being an L&D nurse SO much but I am looking forward to this new adventure and all it has to offer.

    I’m an L&D nurse too! It’s crazy that I came across your video, because I literally just applied to an NP program too. Best of luck to you!! I’m excited to be on this journey alongside you.

    Hi Margaret. I recently graduated with my ADN in Dec 23, took my nclex on 02/08 and passed! I applied at my local hospital L&D dept and surprisingly got hired even as a new grad. I am planning on working for at least 6 months and then applying for my BSN and my ultimate goal is NP school with my masters in woments heallth also. So glad that I came across your video and look forward to seeing how your journey progresses. If you can also maybe recommend a online NP school like the one that you are attending that would be super helpful and would go right up on my vision board. Thank you in advance and best of luck on your new journey.

      Omg you are crushing it!!!! Congrats on passing the NCLEX, that is a huge accomplishment! I hope you love L&D, hang in there at the beginning it can take some time to get into a flow. There are so many great NP schools out there with online options (I don’t know about all of them so make sure to look them up to see what’s right for you). Here are a few I found:
      Emory University
      Vanderbilt University
      Carlow University
      Regis College
      There are so many more and they are all over the country so I’m sure there’s one in your area if that interests you!! Good luck with everything 😊

    Thank you for sharing! Could you tell us what program did you join? Because I have not been able to find Women’s health NP that helps
    With clinical placements! Thanks

    Hey Margaret! I made the career switch to nursing after watching your videos last year and I'm finishing up my prereqs now; I've already been accepted to Marian University's ABSN program in Indianapolis and will start this August. I want to go a similar route by starting as a cardiac nurse before enrolling in NP School too. Do you know what the requirements are? Can you apply to NP directly after finishing an ABSN? I was told many schools require 2 years experience and even then the rules are going to change soon so I was hoping you could clear this up for me, possibly in a future video? Thanks again!!

      Hi! Congratulations on finishing up your pre reqs and starting your ABSN!! I am not sure what the requirements are or if there are any requirements in terms of how long you’ve worked. I know people who have gone straight from a bachelors to a masters! I would recommend having a least a year of experience as a nurse before applying to np school but you do you! If you’re interested in being a CRNA I know that requires at least 2 years of experience working in an ICU so maybe that’s what you were hearing. Best of luck with everything!!

    How did you decide between Medical Assistant and Nursing? I have an BA in Humanities/Sociology but started off in Journalism. Got accepted into a MA in Journalism but not really feeling like spending so much on going to an out of state school.

    Do you know what the salary is for WHNP?

    • @margaretarmen
      @margaretarmen  Před 2 měsíci +2

      It differs depending on a lot of things (where you live, where you work, years of experience, etc.) but I've seen anywhere from $110,000-$140,000.
