Join us in this informative video as we explore the journey of becoming a nurse practitioner (NP), comparing the different routes available, discussing the financial aspects, and highlighting the increased autonomy that comes with this advanced nursing role.

In this video, we delve into the various types of nurse practitioners, allowing you to discover the specialized areas where you can make a difference. From Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) providing primary care across the lifespan, to Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) specializing in mental health, we explore the diverse range of opportunities within the field.

We also discuss the different routes to becoming a nurse practitioner, including the traditional Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) path and the advanced Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) option. We weigh the financial considerations, discussing tuition costs and the potential pay increase that comes with being a nurse practitioner.
