What general advice would you give to a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner?
Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: The biggest change to the profession over the next five years will be to find safe and effective ways to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our practices. While AI is a huge game-changer, Nurse Practitioners and all health care providers, must apply the principles of critical thinking for each particular care to assure that patients are receiving the best evidence-based care.
What Cardiology Nurse Practitioner skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: Major advice for new Nurse Practitioners is that learning continues in the first position, as it takes at least a year to see the various problems individuals present with in the practice. After that initial learning curve, dedication and commitment to being a life-long learner is essential to having a successful career. Become an active member of the particular nursing organization that is within your specialty, as that is one way to stay knowledgeable about changes in the profession.
What will help Cardiology Nurse Practitioners increase their earning potential?
Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: For newly licensed advanced practice graduates from Graduate Nursing Schools, often the starting salary is established by the organization. Individuals need to know the salary ranges and determine if the salary is one that fits their expenses. For those Graduates who have had experience previously, and now have an advanced degree, for example, the DNP, they can often negotiate for a higher salary. Today, there are numerous opportunities for experienced graduates to bring new ideas to an organization, and speak to them during the interview process.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Cardiology Nurse Practitioner job market given the pandemic?
Amy Grugan Ph.D.: I think we will see many openings for nurses in acute care or bedside hospital care. This pandemic has been a challenge for all health care workers in not only the physical and intellectual burden but also the emotional burden. Acute care organizations will need to ensure we have a continuation of quality care for the entire population who seek services at their institutions. In addition, public health will need educators, caregivers, and staff to drive plans for vaccinations on a large scale. Now, more than ever, communities need strong public health professionals who can plan, implement, and evaluate initiatives to maintain the health of their residents.
