Interview with an Interventional Cardiology NP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2021
- Not all Acute Care Nurse Practitioners work in medical ICU's. Meet my friend Kristen who kicks butt in the role of IC NP. She cares for patients in CCU and CVICU who are often profoundly sick in cardiogenic shock. She helps manage mechanical support like IABP's, Impella's, and ECMO.
The opinions shared here belong to myself and Kristen and may not necessarily reflect those of our employers
Thanks for sharing Kristen’s story, I love to hear about other specialties!
Thanks for making this video, love to see more ❤️
Love to hear about other specialties that in acute care NP can get into. Would love to see more of these !
Pretty inspiring!! Thanks!!
great job!!!!
I love the fact that you want to help future NP students. Thank you!
Thanks for posting this, I'm most interested in this speciality (and also have a background in the emergency department, as well as paramedicine and progressive care) ... Kristen's insight helped reassure me that I'm on the right path!
Wonderful! It seems to be a very rewarding specialty. Good luck!
@@BreeJuskowiak Thank you
I love this! I'm just starting on a cardiac PCU and eventually plan to be a cardiac NP. 😁
Cardiac NP’s are the best! Good choice.
Thank you this was very instructing! I would love to know what kind of procedures she can do?
Hi Sheyla. She can do essentially any procedures trained in an acute care program. I.e. lines, chest tubes, intubation, etc. having said that, at our institution they don’t get a lot of opportunity to do them. Their physicians cannulate for ecmo, and most critical care procedures are consulted out. But, when credentialed and if there is enough volume to maintain them they are qualified to do any.
BREE u are gorgeous ❤️❤️
Question! Starting out on a cardiac step down/PCU, I'm thinking of doing it for a few years, then advancing to the CVICU. I just met a travel nurse who is in nurse practitioner school and already has a job lined up as an interventional cardiology nurse practitioner due to working in a cardiac clinic. My dilemma is on what credentials are worth it to get and maintain on my journey that will be the most helpful when I'm eventually looking for a job as a NP. Debating getting the PCCN certification, the CCRN certification, the CMC certification, and the CHFN certification. Unfortunately with these, you have to keep up ongoing hours of education and I feel like it's a bit much and won't be worth it since networking is far more valuable for job opportunities than a bunch of letters behind your name. I'm thinking that just focusing on getting experience and eventually just doing my CCRN-CMC would be best. Thoughts?
I think your assessment is spot on. I had CCRN on my resume but I’m not sure how far it really took me for acquiring an NP role. If anything studying for these certifications prepares you for the mindset of going back to school. It also can demonstrate your commitment to excellence but I would choose one closest to the field I desire to work in and leave it at that.
@@BreeJuskowiak thanks for the feedback! I've turned an ICU nurse who is in school to become a nurse practitioner and wants to keep working in the ICU on to your channel and recommended your book on charting to her! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much Dan!
Can I apply for ICNP with FNP and background in ER and Cath lab as a RN? Or you need on top of FNP critical care certification as NP?
If you’re talking about AGACNP, then yes you can with that background. Different schools have different requirements but most will take any exp in an acute setting like ED. Also if you are already FNP then you would be looking at a post masters AGACNP and many do this to allow them to round in the hospital but not ICU proper. Bottom line - yep you should be good. If your goal is to work in the ICU you may encounter more difficulty academically or in the early days of practice but it’s a challenge many many have overcome.
@@BreeJuskowiak Thanks for the reply, I’m interested in working as interventional cardiologist or interventional radiologist after I finish my FNP, I just found out these specialties and I’m very excited, I’m looking for information and tips that can help me to get into it. Once again thanks for the quick answer.
Jesus Christ, she's GORGEOUS. Ask her if her middle name is atropine, she's sure got my heart beating fast.
Where are these structured programs
Usually larger hospitals.
Mind me asking how much she makes? My wife was offered $140k per year and not sure if it’s fair. She will be at a private practice doing procedures at local hospitals
FYI she is 26 years old and just graduated
Ryan, that totally depends on your region and specialty.
@@BreeJuskowiak valid point. I am just not sure what the average is since it’s such a specialty. She will be doing the same thing (interventional cardiac NP) but with procedures. We live in a city of 300k people
@@ryants1 I don’t know that Kristen would want to go public with her salary. Having said that, Cardiology is generally one of the highest paying specialties. I would go on the job boards and see what going rate advertised is for acute care np’s in your area and she should be at the top end. This is a pretty good salary in my mind, particularly for a new grad but there are just so many variables it’s hard to say for sure. For example, what is the standard there? California and the New England states pay more. And what is cost of living in your area? In the south it’s less. Also - will she get CME which can be upwards of 10-20k. Will she have to take call without additional pay? What’s her CME stipend? Will she qualify for RVU or quality bonuses? Those can be a significant amount of money. All that in conjunction with how much she is currently making as an RN and is this a pay cut for her?
@@BreeJuskowiak thank you for the info! Sorry, I didn’t mean for Kristen’s exact salary but wasn’t sure if she ever said what that job generally makes. We live in Indiana so cost of living is extremely cheap. I’m not even sure what CME and RVU are! I’ll have to look into those. Her schedule would be rounding in the local hospitals from 7-9 then she would perform procedures from 9-4ish. No call or weekends. My biggest concern with a private cardiology clinic is her “protection” doing procedures vs a hospital hiring her.
Plz tell me if Kristen is on Instagram....
She is so good
