The Nurse Sabbatical

NOVEMBER 17, 2022

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week to all of my fellow nurse practitioners. November is always an interesting month for me to reflect on my career as a Nurse Practitioner. I became certified as a pediatric nurse practitioner in November of 2008. A fun fact is that I have practiced as a nurse practitioner longer than I have practiced as a nurse. Although I am not actively practicing as a Nurse Practitioner and took a sabbatical due to burnout, I do not take my career path for granted.

Now, patients in more than half of the states, the District of Columbia, and two U.S. territories have full, direct healthcare access from NPs. In April 2022, New York and Kansas granted FPA to NPs. That brings to 26 the number of states where NPs can practice to the top of their license without restriction.
