If you’re a new NP grad making your way into practice, I think you’ll find today’s video super helpful.(And even if you’re not a new grad, it’s still worth the watch — both to understand what we’ve been through and to help us mentor students and new grads ourselves.)In this episode, I talk about the challenges new grads face — from sneaky imposter syndrome to the overwhelming clinical knowledge demands.It can feel like an absolute rollercoaster from one moment to the next.It wasn’t until I started to mentor new grads myself that I understood what was so challenging and why.It seems obvious in one way — learning medicine is endless. But there are some other sneaky things that make it SO much more intense.If we can orient ourselves to what is actually happening, we can:Make a plan to get supportHelp our NP mentees and students adjust better, andUnderstand the role transition challenge on a high level.I truly believe we can all contribute to making this profession better and it starts on an individual then interpersonal level.Which is why in this video, I talk about the three pillars of practice that can help you:Tackle the fear of the unknown and build a foundation for continuous learning in real-world practice.Navigate the system beyond diagnosing and treating illnesses.Embrace the unexpected leadership role and the skills you need.And remember, you're not alone - we see you and we're cheering you on!Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction00:46 - Pillars of Nurse Practitioner01:30 - First Pillar: Clinical Knowledge02:30 - Second Pillar: Navigating the HealthCare System04:40 - Third Pillar: Role Transition & Stepping Into Leadership06:31 - card link: Challenges of Primary Care playlist08:39 - Recap10:38 - RWNP Mentorship (card link: mentorship waitlist)_______________________________© 2023 Real World NP.
