Licensed Clinical social worker here! Super proud of you. Fly high king!! Continue to touch and impact lives. You are making a difference 🙌🏽👏🏾🙏🏿💪🏾👏🏾

A current DNP student here🫶🏿 Long way to go but I’m motivated!

Proud Clinical Social Worker here! We do so much and are often underutilized. We have extensive training in psychotherapy, case management, research, program evaluation, leadership, and teaching. We also have a practice doctorate (Doctor of Social Work) and the traditional PhD. I love working in healthcare as part of an interdisciplinary team. And it’s even better when the team knows social worker’s worth and skill set.

Good to know this

Great video! I’ll definitely watch Kojo’s videos now too - he’s super well spoken and you can tell he cares about his work.

Love his passion and compassion.

I am really glad, to watch this interview. With loads of love from Ghana.

beautiful, how he tells about that bi-polar girl accepting the diagnosis, how it cut into her identity. In the end you're not your diagnosis :) and this man helps you to that, lovingly :)

Thank you ND for all the videos. My question is: how can you get so many healthcare professionals who are willing to participate your interviews in you videos? In addition, I found your videos from KZread last night and I will keep watching every single one in the future. You videos are so true and so helpful in my life. Thank you so much!

I can see that this man right here! Loves his job. Good job

HE HIT IT! HE HIT 100K!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!!

Current DNP-PNP student here. I completely agree with the goal to be a stronger advocate for the patient. I am driven by diving into more research to give the best care I can give to my patients and their families. Thank you Kojo!

I love your Brain. You put in the work congrats!!

CONGRATS 100K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥂😍

my ultimate goal , NP . Not the DNP :) Thank you so much for this wonderful collaboration of Dr.KOJO and Andy. Thank you please.

What an excellent interview. I can totally relate when Kojo said the most difficult part of being a PMHNP is really beign in your patients shoes at their darkest moments.. this really resonated with me, because in order to be empathetic that is what you must do, and it's not easy. Which is why as providers we must always put our mental well-being first so we can be fully present for our patients. Thank you for being so transparent and beign you!

God bless you and your love ones and everyone else

Thank you for this man. I start nursing school this July and this helped inspire me more to work towards being an NP :)

100k subscribers so happy for youuu🎉

I love the variety! Looking forward to the DPM interview if/whenever you get to it. Great content 👍🏽.

I can never do Psych NP....that field of Psych NP is mind blowing. Question do you also see a psychiatrist yourself, because most Psychiatrist also see another psychiatrist/psychologist to get through the day.

congrats on 100k subs Andy!!

Really good video will definitely be following Kojo on social media to learn more about what a DNP in mental health does! As always thank you for this amazing content! Almost at 100k!💕

@@KZreadGuy-dm7uy By virtue of being an MD/DO you are a physician... that's the difference between a PhD vs an MD/DO. How about you introduce yourself as a nurse then? Given that's what a nurse practitioner is. I might as well transfer to a DNP program and call myself a "doctor", then. It'll be a lot easier, a lot cheaper, and a lot worse for my patients :) There's a difference between addressing oneself as a "doctor" in a classroom versus in the hospital or clinical setting.

@@AppleMasterChris Dentists can absolutely use the 'doctor' title and do use it all across the US. PharmD, DNPs, DPTs, ODs, PsyDs all can use the title and if they are upfront about their role I see nothing wrong with it whatsoever. I'm a DO and see no problem with it. You seem like a bitter young medical student or perhaps even a premed if you don't understand that.

I love that you’re branching out into other types of providers. Please do a CRNA next!

I hope you will interview more NP's in the future

Thank you for making this video. I hope it didnt deter you from having other Providers like Physician Assistants on. The feedback is as expected. We are all needed. Many are just egotistic and all for self preservation. When their self worth comes from a titled achievement then I can see how they think the way they think. Nurses are not Physicians and Physicians are not Nurses. Mid level providers are so neeeded. ...Nurses and so many other health care personnels are so crucial. Some Doctors dont have a clue about all it takes and thats ok because their position is so crucial and they have to know sooo much. Nurses, case managers, all the therapists, social worker, administrative staff, assistants etc take care of everything else and its alot. On top of that, Physicians now need help with the demand of patient care. Midlevel providers like PA and NP' s fill many gaps. Lets be appreciative of each other and if you have a concern aim to conduct research to fix it, not discredit the whole operation .

Hello Kojo...I am a Healthcare Administrator in Behavioral Health. Keep up the good work.

It's interesting that DNP programs teach everything but medicine...

You should ask where they from? I think he is African

This was supposed to be an inspirational video right? But in the comment box you can find people disparaging the work of nurses. It's sad, in my country there are many of us who aspire to be nurses because we love the art of caring for others, but there will always be people who will discredit us and make us less. It is depressing to want to be something that I know that, even though I am very passionate about it, they will make me feel sad and discredit me.

i commented this before but still think it would be sick to see a 73 questions with a licensed ND. would be cool to just see the differences in ideas, approach and where you guys share middle ground

A Doctor, a Physician Assistant, and a Nurse Practitioner have all died, and they met God sitting on his throne... God asks the doctor: "What do you believe in?" Doctor: "I believe in: First, Do No Harm. Then, Beneficience, Autonomy, and Justice." God says: "Good, come, sit to my right". God asks the Physician Assistant: "And what do you believe in?" Physician Assistant: "I believe in practicing within my scope as an assistant to the physician." God: "Wonderful, you sit next to my left." God asks the Nurse Practitioner: "... and what do you believe?" Nurse Practitioner: "... I believe you're sitting on my seat I do not like NP
