Should you go to nurse practitioner school with no nursing experience? Or is it smarter to get a year or two as an RN first?In this episode, I share my honest take after close to 8 or 9 years as an LPN and RN before NP school, and a couple of years now working as a nurse practitioner. We'll cover the case for going straight into NP school and the case for getting experience first.Some links mentioned below are affiliate links. ➔ Consultations: https://nursemoneytalk.com/consultation➔ Work with Me: https://nursemoneytalk.com/workwithme ➔ Get the Psych Documentation Template: https://nursemoneytalk.com/psychnursi...🏫 Look for Nursing Programs: https://nursemoneytalk.com/schools 🔍 Look For Jobs: https://nursemoneytalk.com/jobs ❓Ask a Question: https://nursemoneytalk.com/askStart Investing and Saving➔ Get the Acorn App: https://nursemoneytalk.com/acorn ➔ Get M1 Finance: https://nursemoneytalk.com/m1 ➔Find a Financial Planner: https://nursemoneytalk.com/financialp... ➔ Open a Savings Account: https://nursemoneytalk.com/cit Resources For New Nurses ➔ Learn How to Chart: https://nursemoneytalk.com/learntochart ➔ New Nurse Academy: https://nursemoneytalk.com/newgradaca...

10 Hard Lessons After 10 Years in Healthcare

After a decade working in healthcare, I’ve learned some lessons the hard way. Lessons I wish more nurses and healthcare professionals talked about openly.

In this video, I break down the hard-earned truths about nursing, career longevity, burnout, personal branding, networking, communication, and why staying in the wrong job can quietly destroy your career and your well-being.

Whether you’re a nursing student, early in your career, or a seasoned clinician questioning your next move, this episode is meant to give you clarity...and maybe save you years of frustration.

In this video, we cover

• Why self-care isn’t optional in healthcare
• The reality of healthcare as a business
• Why burning bridges can haunt your career
• How nurses become obsolete without realizing it
• When “the grass is greener” thinking backfires
• Why your personal brand matters more than you think
• The emotional cost of trying to save everyone
• How networking quietly opens doors
• Why coworkers matter more than patients for job satisfaction
• How communication can make or break your career
• When staying in a job too long does more harm than good

In this episode, I answer a real question from a nursing student asking a simple but important question: MacBook Air or MacBook Pro for nursing school?

We break down the actual differences that matter for nursing students, including performance needs, battery life, portability, longevity, and price. I explain what tasks nursing school really demands from a laptop, where the MacBook Pro is overkill for most students, and when the MacBook Air is more than enough.

If you’re trying to decide between a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro and want a clear, practical recommendation without overspending, this episode is for you.Some links mentioned below are affiliate links. 🏫 Look for Nursing Schools: https://nursemoneytalk.com/schools 🔍 Look for Nursing Jobs: https://nursemoneytalk.com/jobs
