Rachel’s Answer

Many of the NP's that I work with thoroughly appreciate the close relationship that they are able to build with patients. I work at a cancer center. Many of the NP's have more time with the patients than the physicians. The NP's are able to establish relationships that may continue for a decade of treatment.

Joelle’s Answer

As a Nurse Practitioner, I find several things enjoyable about my profession. First off, I love caring and educating patients. Its one of my favorite things to do. I love making my patients feel safe and comfortable. Another thing I enjoy about being a Nurse Practitioner is my autonomy. I current work at CVS Minute Clinic, which is a small clinic in CVS where I care for sick and well children and adults. I can assess, diagnose and prescribe without a doctor being present. I also love being a Nurse Practitioner because after 3 years, in New York State, working with a collaborating physician is absolved and I can work as an Independent Practitioner. Lastly, I enjoy being a Nurse Practitioner because my schedule works well for my family. I hope this help! Good luck!

Joelle recommends the following next steps:

Go to Nursing School
Get at least 1-2 years of nursing experience
Go for your Masters in Nursing and become a Nurse Practitioner
