Problem
Response to this post; Pursuing further education has always been a dream of mine. After completing my bachelor's degree, it became clear to me that I wanted to continue my academic journey. As such, I made the decision to enroll in Walden University to pursue my NP. At first, I was unsure which specialty to choose, but eventually settled on Acute Care NP, which will equip me with the skills necessary to work with clients who are acutely ill and have complex health conditions.
In the beginning, becoming a nurse practitioner was challenging for me. I faced difficulty in balancing work-education, program demands, and responsibilities. However, once I started, I became more organized and learned to manage my time better. This difficulty helped me to realize the importance of pursuing education while maintaining a work-education balance.
One of the professional organizations supporting the specialty of ACNP is the American Association of Nurse
Practitioners (AANP). This organization offers membership to NPs, including those in acute care.
Filling out an application is necessary to become a member and access publications, educational materials, and personal growth activities. Participation in research and evidence-based practice projects is also possible.
