Let’s be real: the first few years of practice as an NP can be TOUGH. Not only do you have this vast amount of new clinical knowledge to put into practice, you’re also learning the ins and outs of how a clinic runs (for better or worse), and adjusting to being the place where the buck stops. Is it really surprising that you are wondering if it gets better?It’s a kind of taboo topic, even though it’s a common question that most NPs ask (if only to themselves). It’s also time to put a spotlight on it.This week, let’s talk about how it gets better as a new NP:✅ How long does it take to get better?✅ The role transition from RN to NP✅ How the complexity of the US healthcare system impacts transition to practice✅ Examples of what it looks like when it DOES get betterYou’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think. And at some point, the day will come that it will get better – either naturally or because you made the adjustments that you need so that it IS better. -----------------------Don't forget to grab your free Ultimate Resource Guide for the New NP at https://www.realworldnp.com/guideSign up for the Lab Interpretation Crash Course: https://www.realworldnp.com/labs Grab your copy of the Digital NP Binder: https://www.realworldnp.com/binder------------------------Come follow along for even more tips and inspiration:Instagram: https://instagram.com/realworldnpFacebook: https://facebook.com/realworldnp______________________________Please note: This episode is intended only for medical providers and students learning to be medical providers. While anyone is welcome to view and listen, for legal and safety reasons, we are unable to diagnose, treat, or answer medical questions for individuals through this channel.  We always refer individuals back to their primary care providers for medical care.If you’re a medical provider or student and have specific patient cases you have questions about, I cannot answer those here but would love to help you inside our mentorship program!
