The FreshNP Podcast
The learning curve to becoming a nurse practitioner is steep. This podcast is hosted by Sean Dent, MSN ACNP-BC CCRNand Kati Kleber, BSN RN CCRN and features expert content from FreshNP.com. FreshNP is a hub of resources for prospective, current and new nurse practitioners to support and facilitate their transition from student to new clinician.
Our goal is to bridge the knowledge gap about all things related to becoming a new NP. From which program to choose, to working with physicians, to time management, we cover all things the new NP wants and needs to know to be successful.
While patient scenarios may be discussed, any identifying details have been changed to protect their privacy. For full disclaimers, click here.
Today’s episode
Many people want to know which degree they should pursue as an NP – the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) or the Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN). Sean and Kati discuss the different degree options for prospective NP students and pros and cons to both sides, as well as the current healthcare climate and how that may influence one’s career path.
Listen
