Panel Discussion - Transitioning into the APN Role
Josh Fitzgerald (Speaker)
The Student Panel is one of the highlights of the day as the current graduating students are very interested to hear about past graduate experiences and the challenges they faced in their new role as a nurse practitioner. Some questions to reflect on:
1. What one piece of advice would you give to the upcoming graduates as they prepare to transition from student to practitioner?
2. What was the biggest challenge you faced as you sought to enter practice and how did you address it?
3. How was your contract negotiation?
4. Is there anything you know now that you wish you would have known when you were about to graduate? -
