Let’s talk about boards, baby! This week we are joined by Latrina Walden, MHA, MSN, FNP-C, FNP-BC and CEO & Owner of Latrina Walden Exam Solutions to talk all about medical board exams. She talks about what sparked her interest in the NP route, and specifically the FNP route. She discusses why she wanted to create Latrina Walden Exam Solutions for nurses, and she highlights the gap between our education and studying for the boards, as it’s completely different from how you’re tested in schools. She offers insight into when you should start studying, and differences between taking the boards and the NCLEX. She shares what people can expect from her course, and a few things people should consider before embarking on the journey of becoming an NP. This episode is a great reminder of why we do what we do, and of all the exciting paths you can take in this career.
