So you ought to be part of the new generation of nurses.
Let's chat about it.
As a nurse practitioner, I'm triaging patients in an advanced role, so I'm diagnosing, treating, prescribing and referring to get patients the best care possible.
What's been the most surprising thing for me is the impact that nurses have in the community.
They remember what you say and what you do because you're the constant for them when there's lots of other doctors and other things around.
So you are making the most impact on your patients when you see them.
The best reward is seeing the patient outcomes, getting them to achieve what they want in their health, and being able to mentor nurses in primary care to become nurse practitioners as well to get same patient outcomes.
Primary care allows you to have the opportunity to do all different types of nursing and you never have a boring day.
There are many ways to get into primary healthcare, so come join the team.
