As a nurse practitioner, do you ever have days where you’re so exhausted at the end of the day, you think to yourself, “How do I find balance in my life if my work takes so much from me?” Do you ever hate how reactive your life feels? Maybe you started off the day right. You woke up early and went for a walk or got in a short exercise routine. Then you ate a real breakfast, not just some granola bar on the rush in your drive to work. You set yourself up right with the right energy. You feel g...

I Would’ve Found Happiness in Healthcare Sooner If I Knew This
If you’re a nurse practitioner, let me ask you a question: Do you stare at your 6-figure student loan, and think to yourself, “This will take forever to pay off!” Do you drive to the clinic or hospital every morning and think to yourself, “Just X more years until I get this tuition debt paid off.” When you look at your schedule for the day, do you just see names in 20 minute slots whose notes you need to write up then sign so you can get reimbursed by the insurance to pay your monthly payment...

I Would’ve Connected With Patients Instantly If I Knew This Trick
If you’re a nurse practitioner, how would you like to have patients tell you, “I’d rather see you than the doctor!”? How would you like to have patients tell you, “I never understand what my doctors are telling me. But talking to you, for the first time in my life I actually understand my health!” If you’re a nurse practitioner, how would you like to wake up every morning in your bed, with smile on your face, and excitement in your body, because you’re not dreading to go to work, but thrilled...

If you’re a nurse practitioner, are there days that your work feels hollow and meaningless, and you even question your career choice? Do you feel like you’re so exhausted and burned out from your work as a nurse practitioner, that even when you take time off for vacation, maybe you traveled to Hawaii to enjoy the sun, dip your toes in the warm Pacific Ocean and drink from one of those fruity drinks with the little umbrellas in them… but when you come back home and it’s the night before your f...

8 Lessons From 8 Years as a Nurse Practitioner
If you’re a nurse practitioner, then this video is for you. Eight years ago, I walked into my first day as a brand-new nurse practitioner with a stethoscope around my neck and a whole lot of fear in my heart. Here’s what no one tells you when you become a nurse practitioner: the lessons that matter most aren’t in the textbooks. They’re learned the hard way - through tears, mistakes, burnout, and breakthrough moments. After 8 years, I’ve distilled it down to 8 lessons I wish I had known since ...

How I’d Learn Time Management as a NP If I Had To Start Over
Have you ever walked into work with your coffee in hand, hoping today will be a good day, hoping that you’ll get through your day smoothly and happily. But your first patient is already waiting with a list of questions a mile long. Your medical assistant is behind. The computer’s slow and there’s been an EHR update so the layout looks different. Pretty soon you find yourself three hours behind, drowning in charts. By 6, you feel like a ghost of yourself—and then you drive home and melt into t...

You’re wasting time as a nurse practitioner (the truth you need to hear)
If you’re a nurse practitioner, do you ever wake up thinking, “Being a nurse practitioner is hard work. In fact, sometimes it seems like there are more days that I’m stressed out than I’m feeling happy and content with my work. And it feels like I’m wasting my time being unhappy and stressed out all the time. I spend more time on the computer and EHR, charting and documenting than I do enjoying my life, being with my family. I’m not getting any younger. I should be spending my life doing some...

Do you ever feel like there is never enough time in the day as a nurse practitioner? The average nurse practitioner sees 24 patients in a day.

Do you wish you had more time in your day as a nurse practitioner? Do you struggle with navigating patient visits, dealing with people’s concerns and anxieties, educating patients, persuading patients to take a life-saving medication, then ending the visit politely but firmly without seeming abrupt to the patient so that you can go back to your desk to write up your note before you forget what you talked about?

Medicine is not what it used to be
If you’re a medical provider, is practicing medicine what you thought it would be? Did you come into medicine or your training very green and doe-eyed and thinking you could spend a lot of time with each patient and everyone would be so grateful for your help, and you could easily prescribe a medication and there would be no paperwork or red tape from the government or insurance companies? Is practicing medicine harder than you thought it would be? If you think this, then this episode is for...
