Nurse Practitioner Interview Essay

For my interview, I wanted to find someone who is currently in the field that I aspire to be in eventually. Currently I’m working on my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and eventually want to become a nurse practitioner. I was referred to Scottie Kautz, who has his Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Advanced Registered Nurse Practictioner Board Certified liscnense (ARNP-BC). He works at Chen Medical in primary care and earned his MSN at Florida Southern University. We met at Starbucks to conduct the interview.
I started the interview by finding out how Mr. Kautz progressed to his current position as a nurse practitioner. He didn’t originally plan on becoming a nurse practitioner. Initially he obtained his Bachelors in Pre-Med from Florida Southern and began by volunteering in the emergency room. While volunteering, he discovered that he didn’t want to become a doctor, so he decided to go to nursing school and obtain his registered nurse license. After working at Lakeland Regional Hospital for a little bit, he decided he wanted to posses a wider range of privileges and went back to school to obtain his Masters in nursing. After obtaining his ARNP, he spent some time traveling the country participating in strike nursing. Strike nursing is basically where registered nurse practitioners are hired to participates in strikes for the purpose of progressing legal limits on the field of nurse practitioners. Later he worked for a low income
Kautz further solidified my decision to continue on to become a nurse practitioner. I came to a better understanding of the process for acquiring a job following school and what kind of skills provide the best opportunity in the health care field as a nurse practitioner. I also learned very valuable information regarding establishing connections to open the best opportunities. I can take the new knowledge from my interview and be better prepared to enter my future
