How is the daily work different for a nurse and nurse practitioner?

A nurse Registered Nurse will be expected to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Taking orders, providing patient care, answering calls, consoling patients, and hopefully delegating through mutual collaboration with other Colleagues while making time to take small breaks throughout the day.
Conversely, a Nurse Practitioner is also very busy, but more on an interpersonal and intellectual level. Their role is also to care for the patient, but delegation is critical. The daily needs of patients are assumed by others, as the NP is responsible for the oversight of all licensed personnel under which their assigned patients are currently being cared.
Depending on the scope of practice, this can be a challenging and rewarding.
Mainly, after rounds, as an NP you are able to leave, find quiet refuge, finish charting, and take calls.
Once you feel comfortable having your own practice, you then form an LLC, get malpractice insurance, choose an EHR, and learn about networking as you advance your career to full autonomy (if you practice in a full authority state), or seek an attending MD to supervise you in your practice.
The bottom line is; be as professional as you can, make lots of great contacts, be a lifelong learner, and above all, always know your worth.
All the Best!
