Ask an NP – Working during NP School

00:01 While working in the ER, I really got to spend a lot of time watching the ER staff just to see how the whole process worked.

00:10 You know, in the ER, you just got a big mix of people.

00:13 You're open 24 hours a day.

00:15 You get the best of the best and the worst of the worst.

00:17 And you're going to have suicidal patients, and you're going to have trauma victims, and you're going to have shootings, and you're going to have domestic violences.

00:25 So I got to see the nurses really work to solve all these problems, and I started thinking at that time, I think I could do this.

00:33 I think this would really be a passion for me, and I think that I would be good at it.
